Kumho  Solus KH16

10K on these on My Solara, they are just excellent, great grip dry and just tried out in a big snowstorm, they were fantastic, my car would go anywhere when most would not.I plan on putting them on the Honda Accord also. quiet, and also pretty good no hydroplaning , I was reading the reviews and really surprised about rating, they are excellent to me and I have 3 million miles driving, will purchase again.

new tires just got them but really good in rain wheater.

Low cost, quiet, with great traction. Smooth ride. No torque steer. I had expected these to wear much faster but figured it was worth it because they were so inexpensive. Sure, I only have 8000 miles on them but they still look great. I recommend them highly. IMO they outperform the Michelin Hydroedge that were on the car before the Kumho's. Much smoother (not that there were balance problems with either, there weren't)...but the ride is MUCH less harsh than the Michelins. And MUCH quieter. I was a Michelin man from way back and didn't expect the Kumhos to be anywhere close but I was very surprised because I think the Kumho's are superior to them. Buy these again? OH YEAH!

These tires were OEM. Excessive noise on rough pavement but quiet on smooth pavement. Before I changed them, I even applied foam behind the wheel wells and installed double floor mats to hold the noise down. Handled OK on dry pavement, good dry traction. After 25,000 miles they were shot and almost all my miles were with a light load.

These have been very good tires on both my car and minivan and I would definitely recommend them. Dry and wet traction were excellent with no apparent degradation as the tires wore. They never squealed on turns or hydroplaned at highway speeds. Noise levels were always low. On the negative side, the Vibe is not a powerful car, but with the stick shift there was an unintentional tendency to spin the tires on right turns from a stop. I drove on these through two winters and there was a very noticeable drop off in snow traction after 20-25,000 miles, as in white knuckle time, but this should come as no surprise. I have the Winterforce tires on the van during winter and will invest in them for the car. Four years ago, the Ecsta HP716's at $60 a tire were a raging bargain. Now at $80, both the Ecsta and Solus (noticed no difference between them) remain a good value, but no longer a no-brainer. I was seduced by the Bridgestone special for replacements. So far I'm very impressed with the RE960 Pole Position at about $95 a tire with the rebate factored in.

I have driven about 7,000 miles on these tires and I LOVE them. My Highlander had "tires for life" tires from the dealer that were as hard as rocks and were extremely noisy. The price and purchassing arrangements for new Kumho tires was excellent (worth paying for over free tires for life), the installation (by Trick Pro in Melbourne FL) was effortless, and I could not be more pleased. The ride is phenominal; my highlander now rides as comfortably and quiet as a Lexus. Thank you Tire Rack & Thank you Trick Pro.

I have over 34,000 miles on these tires and they still have a good amount of tread left on them. I purchased them 3 years ago and they will last until I sell this car next year (whoever buys it will have a good set of tires). I have been very impressed with the "ride" they give me on this car. My son drives it mostly now until he gives it up for me to sell. I have purchased 4 sets of Kumho tires for all my cars over the years and would recommend them to anyone who asks for my opinion on what brand to buy. Getting ready to buy a set of the LX Platinum to replace a set of Ecsta asx on my Buick and can't wait to see how they do. Ecsta's have given me almost 3 years and over 30,000 miles of tread life also. Good tire. Thanks Kumho. Just can't say enough about the Kumho tires. Will update on the LX's when I have something to relay.

I bought these tires with 55K miles on the car. I have 85K now and the tires have been great. They work in snow, rain, dry. Very comfortable ride. Very good handling. I have maybe 5K of tread left. Excellent for the price. Would definitely buy again.

I'm using these tires on my daughter's 1996 Nissan Altima. Excellent tire for this application. Stable feeling and very good treadwear.

With just over 5,000 miles on this tire I can tell you I am impressed. I was running Pirelli P6 All seasons and those are great tires. Good in snow, great in rain, great on drive pavement. IThe reason for the Kumho was to get better tread wear knowing I would be sacrificing performance. These tires are it. The tires have over 2000 highway miles on them, countless trips on windy mountain roads, trips to the Northwest )OR, WA), trips through the desert (AZ, NV), and crazy cold (-10 or better for a week) and snow in CO (Vail Valley). In all conditions: rain, snow, sleet, packed snow, iced roads, and dry highways.



Much better than I expected. For everyday driving and moderate (skip anything freezing) you will more than get your money's worth.



Excellent on dry, very good in rain and the tire will manage all kinds of solid water conditions if you do not think you own Blizzak tires.



For snow and other snow like conditions you have to have all tires able to work - note here is I would not put these on a 2WD auto for snow use.



For the money, definitely. And tread wear is excellent they look new (and they should) and are quieter than I expected on the highway.

These Kumhos are holding up so much better that BFG Traction T/A's I had on the car before. 15k and no noticeable sign of wear. In fact I've been lazy and have not rotated them and they are still wearing evenly, still feel like new, again a big improvement over the BFG Traction T/A's. They do not handle as well as some other tires I've had but as a 30-40k a year commuter I would pick these over the last couple sets I've owned.

You get what you pay for. I bought the KH16 to save $400 instead of buying another set of the OEM Michelins. I can say 2 things good about the KUMHO KH16s. They are black and hold air. Otherwise, the ride quality is poor, they are noisey. On snow/slush they border on being dangerous with little or no acceleration, braking or cornering traction. I can't wait for these to wear out so I can buy the tires I should paid the bucks for in the first place. Don't waste your money on these unless you are selling your car and don't like the buyer.

Absolutely worthless tire. These were the OEM tires on our 2012 Dodge Journey. 21,000 miles into I could see they were significantly worn, and at 27,000 miles all 4 are completely worn out and need to be replaced. The traction was always terrible - wheel hop was evident from day 1 with moderate acceleration, and as the tread has continued to wear down, the wet traction has gotten even worse than where it started. I have rotated the tires at each recommended interval (3 so far) and maintained the tire pressure.
