The SOLUS KL21 is Kumho''s Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire developed for the driver of crossovers, sport utility vehicles and prestigious pickups looking for year-round capabilities. Many of the SOLUS KL21 tires meet Kumho''s eco* standard for low rolling resistance that confirms the tire''s contribution to reducing vehicle fuel consumption and emission of CO2 gases. The Solus KL21 is designed to combine ride comfort and low noise with year-round handling and traction, even in light snow.
The SOLUS KL21 uses Kumho''s High Dispersible Silica (HDS) tread compound to reduce rolling resistance and strengthen the rubber to promote even wear. The compound is molded into a symmetric bamboo‑inspired tread design that provides all-season traction in dry, wet and wintertime conditions.
The tire''s internal structure features twin, high-tensile steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon to combine strength and low rolling resistance while a High Intensity Body Ply reduces heat generation and casing energy losses.
*Specific sizes featuring Low Rolling Resistance technology are identified as such on the Sizes tab, as well as on the tire's SPEC tab.

El SOLUS KL21 utiliza el compuesto de caucho con sílice altamente dispersivo (High Dispersible Silica, HDS, por sus siglas en inglés) de Kumho, para reducir la resistencia al rodar y fortalecer el caucho para ofrecer un desgaste parejo. Este compuesto es moldeado en una banda de rodamiento con un diseño inspirado en bamboo, que proporciona tracción durante todas las estaciones del año en condiciones secas, mojadas e invernales.
La estructura interna posee correas gemelas de acero resistente a tensiones fuertes, reforzadas con nailon envuelto en espiral, para combinar fortaleza y poca resistencia al rodar; mientras que una correa de alta intensidad (High Intensity Body Ply) reduce la generación de calor y la perdida de energía del armazón.

Testing Eco-Focused CUV/SUV All-Season Tires in Real World Conditions (02:48)
Tires designed to be eco-friendly were initially offered to drivers of small hybrid or ultra-efficient cars. This trend evolved to include everyday passenger cars and has continued into the crossover/SUV market.
We compared several eco-friendly CUV/SUV tires to see how they drive in everyday conditions. Here are the results of our testing.
