Kumho  Solus KH16

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 don't have allot of experience with this tire but, my first impression is very positive. These tires have amazing lateral stability, corner is very sure-footed with no surprises at all. The wet weather traction and resistance to hydro-planning is excellent. Even through deep puddles I haven't detected any skating at all. I have only a couple of snowy days on these tires but, the snow traction seems also excellent. I can't imagine a tire that does it all but so far this tire seems to excel in many areas. I will definitely try these out as a replacement tire.

I have had excellent service from these tires. Excellent in the wet and almost no hydroplaning as well as being very quiet and a good ride.Price is excellent.

This is a awesome tire. I was a little skeptical when I ordered these tires to replace OEM Michelin MXV4's...but what a suprise. These tires have great dry/wet traction and are very quiet on the highway. My car handles and rides just as it did with the Michelin MXV4's. I have not driven in snow/ice, but will leave more feedback when that happens. Great tire and a great price compared to the Michelin MXV4's

A little over 41K miles on these tires and it's time to replace them. I do not wear my tires down to the 2/32" treadbars, because it simply would not make any sense from a safety standpoint on wet roads. They have about 3 to 4/32" left. As for winter, I have dedicated snow tires. These Kumhos performed pretty well on dry pavement, remained silent when pushed hard, and the ride was decent. I don't recall how they were on the wet when new or close to new, but of course, they are not very safe now that most of the tread depth is gone. As for an all-season tire with the M+S logo, well, I would stay away from these if you're gonna expect any kind of wintery conditions. They were never good for that. Just purchased the Sumitomo HTR A/S P01 as a replacement. Will see...

I've put at least 10,000 miles on my set of Kumho Solus KH-16's and couldn't be happier. The suspension on my car is custom, tighter than stock, with swya bars and strut braces. These tires handle excellently through turns and have a great grip even in the snow. I had them for around a year and a half, and they have been excellent, I've had them on the track (road racing track), in the snow, ice, rain, blizzards, middle of the summer heat, and perfectly dry roads. I've beaten these tires good and they've taken everything. I just recently tore a hole in the side of one from something in a massive pot hole that even dented my rim, and I'm looking forward to a new set. Great buy for a great price!

I think the tires are great. I have put about 60,000 miles on them over the past 4 years and they still have a good tread, but probably not enough to drive in snow this winter. I think they are quiet and they give a smooth ride. After reading other people reviews on tires, I think some people push their cars to the limit hence accelerate tire wear with their style of driving. I might purchase a better tire this time but I would definitely recommend the Solus KH-16 as a quite, soft riding, long lasting tire.

These tires turned out to be a great deal. Low price ($50.00 a piece on sale), very quiet and with a good ride. WET road handling and HYDRO PLANE resistance are top notch---oh, not from a Khumo tire right??!!--wrong, try them for your self and you will see what I'm talking about. I would recommend "V" rating if they make them, probably more money but worth the stiffer sidewall for improved DRY handling. I purchased "S" rated simply because they were the cheapest and on sale for the 15 inch wheels I have. I have the alignment checked and adjusted every year, so my tires last a long time. I also rotate tires every 5,000 miles and balance yearly. These tires are wearing evenly, keep in mind I do tip in heavily on acceleration with a front wheel drive vehicle. So far, I have noticed similar wear patterns and tread depth to previous set of $550.00 Michelins.

Surprising tires for the price. Very quiet, and comfortable ride. Keeps my XL-7 stuck to the road in all driving conditions. Have not owned them long enough to gauge tread wear. Handles light off-road work very well. Excellent in the snow, and rain.

Very pleased with this tire. Great allround tire for every driving condition one would encounter of pavement. Very quiet ride depending on pavement type. Handling on dry or wet pavement and resistance to hydroplaning is very good. Just got finished with a trip and got over 37 mgp on the highway. 20k miles and showing very little, if any wear. Rotate every 5k, 33psi all around. I'll definitely buy another set if these ever wear out. Far exceeded my expectations. Can't be beat for the price.

I've had these tires for over 18 mos. as a replacement to my OEM Firestone that came on my CRV. They have FAR exceeded my expectations. After 18 mos. and about 20k miles, my tread is still at 7/16. These feel soft enough to be responsive, but they don't wear as fast as high performance tires. Also, I'm VERY glad to say they didn't warp ("Cup") like my OEM Firestones did. Very, very happy with them and was just checking in to make sure they were still available. I have plenty of treat, but may put on a new set before winter (it is now May) as I'm a bit chicken and often get stuck being the driver during wet, wintry, blizzard-like conditions and I don't like taking risks, the older I get. Awesome tires. Just came back from a 1700 mile roundtrip vacation, and they were awesome.. enduring about 720 miles one way. The CRV overall is a great vehicle.. these Kumho Solus made it a complete package. Never ever bother with Firestone... can't remember the crappy cupped tires that came on it, but they were deafening. The Solus' have worn nicely, softly, grip well, and are quiet! Buy with confidence.

this tire came on my used AWD Santa Fe. It was prettty good in normal dry and wet weather, but in the winter, with most of the tread still on the tire, in a few inches of snow, was terrible. even though my car is AWD, and I was going very slow, I went into a long ABS skid with these tires, cause there was absolutely no traction. could barely make it up a slight incline in a few inches of snow. they are very dangerous in snow, and I switched out to General Grabbers.

I have not driven much on these tires as they are on a rental car that I have now. However, I was so disappointed with their snow traction that I thought I should write a review anyhow. When I couldn't get out of my lightly snow covered driveway, I should have taken it as a sign to stay home. However, I managed to get up the slight grade with the help of a full bag of sand. Once I was on the road, again lightly snow covered, and began to slowly apply the gas the tires would spin before finally moving the car. I just didn't feel as if the car was very stable driving down a straight and level road! I could feel the car start to slide a bit around bents when at less then the speed limit. Then at the end of my street I slid to a stop at the stop sign. That was my queue to forget it and go back home. We were going to get a few inches of snow during the course of the day and I knew I'd never make it back. I barely made it up the hill back to the house as it was. Anyhow, my point is if you foresee having to drive in any winter weather conditions, DO NOT buy these tires! I'm a cautious driver and I didn't feel safe at all with them in a dusting of snow and give it a few inches, I'd don't think I'd have made it anywhere but into a snowbank! I will say that they were quiet and seemed fine before it snowed, but what tire isn't "OK" on dry pavement?

These tires came as an "upgrade" on my new 2013 Dodge Journey when I purchased it. I don't drive a lot. I take my kids where they need to go- school, doctor's appointments, soccer games and practices, etc. My husband has driven my Journey as needed when his car was unavailable, so my mileage after only 2 years and a half is barely pushing 23,000 miles. I ensure proper maintenance on the Journey and the tires including inflation, balance, and rotation. I was extremely upset when my tires started losing their grip and "spinning" on steep inclines when taking off about 2 months ago (roughly 19k miles 5/32). They are now to the point that I fishtail in 1 inch of freshly fallen snow causing my traction control to activate! The dealer states that Kumho will do nothing because they still had a substantial amount of tread left - they measured 4/32 today. I was told basically to forget the 60,000 mile tread wear warranty- if i'm spinning on dry inclines and fishtailing in minimal snowfall it's too dangerous to drive at this point! Additionally the road noise from these tires made the bluetooth feature in my car "fun" to use- because you know: yelling and turning your car radio up to hear the person you're talking to is what everyone loves to do!
