Best 4 seasons for my Cadillac ATS4

These tyres are exactly what I expected. Dry braking and grip are better than I anticipated for all-season tyres. The road noise is much lower compared to my former summer tyres (Michelin Primacy) or to my winter tyres (Hankook Winter I-cept RS2). Wet grip and braking are really good too. I am waiting to test Kumho on snow and slush, but I am positive they won't disappoint me. So far, so good. I will be coming back for an updated once I put in more miles.

I had these tires installed October 2021 for mostly highway driving daily (115kms). The tires perform pretty good in the various condition encountered in Quebec, but the noise and vibration they produce is our issue. Very dissatisfied with the tire type which was purchased because it is an all weather. I had the Goodyear all weather before these and will be buying them again.

Review your Kumho Solus 4S HA32 >

I already wrote a review shortly after I bought these tires. Then I was quite positive. Sadly my opinion changed, and not for the good.
First things first. From the beginning I had some vibration problems. Especially at speeds around 60 km/h I experienced a wobble in the steering. I moved the front tires to the rear vise versa, that was a bit better but the vibration was irritating. Recently I went to a tire shop for road force balancing my rears. The force was very high, but after rotating the tires on the rims most of the vibration has gone. I’ve never had this issue with any other types of tires.
Another thing I dislike very much are the grip levels. Especially in the lateral direction on a wet road it is quite bad. But also in a longitudinal direction. One time I had to do an emergency stop, and I really was shocked about the braking distance necessary.
Grip levels in dry conditions are okayish. Same in winter conditions with some snow.
Stability straight ahead could be better. Many little steering corrections are necessary all the time. This is a bit tiring.
The comfort level is good, the tires don’t produce a lot of noise. Wear also seems to be okay.
They are cheap, but I would not buy them again.

Good enough tires for all year use

The Solus 4S HA32 205 55r16 91h is a crybaby on the front axle: from the first few kilometers you could hear every stud hitting the road. Several visits to have the tires rebalanced actually resulted in perfect concentricity and an annoyed mechanic. The howling remained. After 2000 km I swapped them with 1-year-old Nexen `n blue from the rear axle. They are now unnoticeable on the rear axle. With this direct comparison with the 4s Nexen I can say that the two tires are equivalent. On the highway, the current configuration gives the same safe driving feeling as with the Nexen on the rear axle. The howling has gone at the back.

Fitted a full set on my Skoda yeti 2.0 tdi
4x4
Got 30k miles out of the fronts which is approx 10k more than the Michelin or Bridgestones I have used before
Dry and wet weather not as good as market leaders but at £50 per corner cheaper I didn’t expect them to be as good
I have just fitted a second set at value for money these are by far the best and were far more predictable towards the end of their life than others I’ve tried
Snow and off road they performed just as well as market leaders
Overall very impressed

Replaced the prematurely perished factory fitted Toyo tyres fitted to our CX3 (less than 5 years old) with these Kumho HA32 around 18 months ago. In summer I've noticed virtually no difference to the Toyo summer tyres, if anything they perform better in both wet and dry conditions, plus they are notably better than the Goodyear Vector 4 Gen 3 on my spouses car.
In the winter however, lower than hoped traction in ice, along with a perceived higher wear rate, let these tyres down a little. Mind I'd still be happy to recommend them overall.

Whilst these are pretty respectable all season tyres with good dry/wet/cold grip levels, the side wall where it meets the tread is woefully thin! The result is that my son has gone through 6 tyres, all with sidewall punctures or blisters in 6 months!!. Now, whilst UK roads are in poor repair and potholes abound, I will not buy another. Have switched to Yokahama Greenearth which I hope last a bit longer - all the failed tyres had less than 1mm of wear (much less in some cases). Not recommended.

Overall good impression of these, decent quality tyres for a fair price, considering these are all-weather & XL load rated.

Bought a Peugeot Partner Teepee with 3 cheap/mid-range tyres & 1 old Michelin (with cracking Sidewall ). On inspection, there were deep cracks running along the tread grooves on one of the cheap tyres, so it was clear that this had to be replaced along with the Michelin.

I decided to stick the two new tyres on the back to preserve their life, and run down the two old tyres on the front.

Did a lot of driving around UK and a two thousand mile road trip to Europe - tyres performed faultlessly up to 150km/h on German Autobahn, and in temperatures up to 38.

Ride is a bit bouncy (it's a French car!), and there's a bit of booming from the rear, but this is probably down to a van-derived design & lack of sound-proofing in rear. Handling is spot on, it's well controlled on bends & roundabouts, and the rear is always well placed. Wet performance is reliable, having driven at speed along country lanes in pouring rain, without any problems, though had a few aqua-planing incidents on Motorway in very heavy rain recently - on inspection this was due to one of the front tyres being worn close to the limit.

Highly recommended, will be fitting two more Kumhos on the front this year.

This is an update of an older review of mine.
I have had these tires fitted on my Opel Astra J for 3 years and used them for almost 50.000 km.
The tires are almost worn out and are to be replaced soon.
Overall, they are acceptable, but they do not impress in any particular area. Of course, I did not expect them to perform like a summer tire in hot weather or like a winter tire on snow. It was a compomise I accepted from the get-go.
Positive aspects: HA32 is quite good on wet in terms of grip, stability, handling and braking. They are quiet and comfortable on most types of roads. The wear is decent and the price is acceptable.
Negative aspects: dry braking is not so good, snow performance is mediocre, lateral grip on wet is tricky, the rubber starts to crack badly on the treadwear and smaller or bigger chunks are missing.
All in all, not a bad tire considering that it is not very expensive. If your driving style is relaxed and you do not push the car to the limit, Kumho Solus HA32 might safisfy your needs.
I will stick to all season tires to replace the Kumhos, but this time I will choose a premium brand as it offers better grip and performance.

These came standard on my 2022 Kia Setlos LX AWD. Hate them. They're noisier on dry pavement than my winter tires. Have driven them in a wide variety of road conditions and they were downright scary for hydroplaning in moderate rain/crosswind situation. Poor traction in small amounts of ice/snow. After 2 years and approximately 10,000 km of spring/summer/fall driving on them, I'm ditching them for an all-season Continental True Contact Touring. I always switch to true winter tires for that season. Wouldn't trust these in the variety of winter road conditions we experience in Saskatchewan.

A cheap name brand product was all I was seeking and these were the cheapest! They're not bad at anything but not great either, and so far have proved reliable. They do look good, a vast improvement on the Maxxis tyres they replaced in all aspects, especially visually, not that that's important. Honestly if I could afford better, I would have bought a better product but I'm safely mobile and legal and that aim was achieved with these tyres, something I wouldn't have got with some of the scary, nasty cheap stuff out there.

Fantastic tires. Running these on my Mazda 3. Very impressed with the traction. Ride quality is better than I expected based on tread design. I'm currently at approx 40,000km on the tires and they are still sitting at 80% tread remaining based on the measurements at my last tire rotation. Would buy again - recommend as a more affordable all-weather option to anyone that asks.

I bought these tyres in October 2021, fitted them on an Astra J, and did around 45,000 km (roughly 30,000 miles).
Driven in all road conditions (dry, wet, slush, snow, ice). Overall they are not bad, but they seem to struggle in snow, with limited grip.
Cornering on wet roads at reasonable speed has been problematic since new, with multiple occasions when ESP was prompted rather agressively.
Dry braking is also not as good as expected, again the ABS kicking in most of the times.
One big problem with Kumho Solus HA 32 is that thay began to chip smaller or bigger chunks with no apparent cause.
Wear is average. I expect them to last 5,000 miles, but no more.
All things considered, Kumhos are not bad tyres, but they do not impress either. Definitely not buying them again.
