Tire Buying Guides
South Korean manufacturer Kumho Tire, a subsidiary of the Chinese company Doublestar, manufactures the Solus series of tires. These all-season tires are known for superior noise-cancellation technology, high stability, comfort, and year-round traction in dry, wet, and light winter weather conditions. Most Solus tires can offer healthy fuel economies due to their special tread compounds and nearly all of them are available with limited manufacturer warranties. To have a closer look at what each of these Kumho Solus tires brings to the table, read through the descriptions below.
Kumho Solus TA51a
As an all-season tire, the Kumho Solus TA51a has been designed to fit passenger vehicles and provides vehicle owners with reliable handling, confident traction, a long tread life, and a limited manufacturer warranty from 65,000 to 75,000 miles. Further, it is also backed by Kumho’s Road Hazard Warranty, and an exchange or full refund 30 days from the purchase date (terms and conditions apply). While a high silica Chamfer block edge bites the road for traction and long tread life, 3D interlocking sipes ensure responsible vehicle handling and prevent irregular wear.
Kumho Solus TA71
If you own a luxury sedan and want a suitable all-season tire to provide good year-round performance and confidence in light winters, consider purchasing the Kumho Solus TA71. These tires have been designed with luxury sedan drivers in mind, with V and W speed ratings enabling great high-speed handling. While 3D sipe technology enhances winter driving stability, innovative technology decreases noise and vibrations for a quiet, comfortable ride. Long-term ownership is rewarding due to the 60,000 mile limited manufacturer warranty.
Kumho Solus TA31
Kumho Solus TA31 is an all-season tire designed specifically for family vehicles like coupes and sedans. Noise reduction is an important characteristic here, which is why the innovative tread pattern plays an important role in reducing sound and vibrations. While multiple sipes along a four-groove tread quickly remove water to prevent hydroplaning, the symmetric tread pattern reduces rolling resistance for low fuel consumption. A 60,000 mile limited manufacturer warranty is available on non-OE tires and Kumho’s Road Hazard Warranty is also part of the package (terms and conditions apply).
Kumho Solus HA32
Unlike the other tires in the Solus family, the HA32 is an all-weather tire that is Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certified for use in heavy snow. 3D interlocking sipes and wide lateral grooves decrease hydroplaning by quickly removing water. The directional tire has been manufactured using natural compounds and is capable of generating maximum snow and wet grip. A 60,000 mile limited manufacturer warranty is available and there are performance wear indicators on the Kumho Solus HA32 to tell you when to change the tire.
