The tyres continue to perform well. Especially when towing out caravan. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Kumho Solus TA31
The Kumho Solus TA31 is an all-season touring tyre with favourable owner comments on quiet running, value and tread life. Handling opinions are divided, and the small owner group gives little basis for a firm wet- or winter-grip verdict.
Quiet running and value are recurring positives for the Kumho Solus TA31, though only a small number of owners describe each in detail. Longer-term accounts include good tread life from two end-of-life reviewers, alongside a mid-life wear concern. The single driver who returned with a follow-up review remained very satisfied after extended use, including towing. These experiences give it some appeal for ordinary touring use, but one repeat reviewer cannot establish a general pattern of how it ages.
The handling picture is less settled. One owner praises it, while another describes poor control during emergency manoeuvres, and there is an isolated stability concern too. Those complaints should be considered without treating them as universal characteristics. Half of the ten reviews are positive overall, but detailed agreement on grip is limited. With no independent tests yet and little specific wet or winter experience, neither the all-season classification nor the favourable ownership accounts establish consistently strong performance in difficult conditions.

No, you are correct, while this is an all season tyre in the US, it doesn't have the snow or ice abilities of a true European all season tyre.
Kumho Solus TA31 Owner Reviews
Review this tyreWhat owners say summarised from 10 reviews
Quiet running and value are recurring positives for the Kumho Solus TA31, although only a small number of owners discuss each aspect. Longer-term wear reports are mostly favourable, with two end-of-life accounts describing good service and another mid-life account raising a wear concern. The single repeat reviewer remains very satisfied after extended use, including towing, but one driver cannot establish a general ageing pattern. Handling opinions are divided: one owner is pleased, while another reports poor control in emergency manoeuvres. Five of ten reviews are positive overall, with too little detailed agreement for a broad verdict on wet or winter grip.

Very happy overall with these tyres. Have driven just over 60,000kms. The overall performance of these tyres in all conditions is pretty good. They represent great value for money. I have no hesitations when it comes to replacing my current tyres with another set of the same tyres.

Handling is the worst problem and from my experience emergency manoeuvres are chaotic.

These tires came with my car. They are quiet, have worn well. I really like them but now it's time to change them out. Here are the facts even though this tire has a really low rating. They have worked out pretty good. I've looked at all the big names tires and really honestly there is a wide mixture of reviews. So mine are cheaper and made I think in Korea. I drive in snow slowly. I don't zip down the highway. If I were to drive my car in the winter I would buy snow tires. All weather tires no matter the brand are average. After looking at all the expensive to cheap reviews. I'm going to stick with what I have. A big or popular name doesn't make the difference. It's the wear and tear and I get fantastic mileage with these tires. My car was rated at 30 mph. I have gotten 52 miles to the gallon and these tires have a lot to do with that.
