The Solus KH25 (so'lus) is Kumho's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of sporty coupes and touring sedans. Solus KH25 tires are designed to blend noise comfort, ride comfort and balanced all-season performance with dry, wet and wintertime traction, even in light snow.

Solus KH25 tires mold a silica-enhanced all-season tread compound into a symmetric tread design that features full-depth circumferential grooves and variable-pitch lateral grooves to enhance hydroplaning resistance and snow traction while reducing noise. The tire's internal structure features twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon to promote stability and high-speed durability while polyester body plies provide casing strength and a smooth ride.

Customers Say

Customer feedback indicates the Kumho Solus KH25 delivers reliable dry traction (scores 7-9) with responsive handling, though some note variability in cornering stability. Comfort receives mixed reactions, with praise for smooth rides but complaints about road noise. Treadwear ratings are inconsistent, with several reports of premature wear. Winter traction is a significant weakness, with most scores below 5, limiting confidence in snow and ice. Wet performance shows concerns, as hydroplaning resistance and grip in rain often score 3-6. While suitable for dry conditions, buyers prioritizing all-season versatility may find its winter and wet capabilities lacking.

...Performance on on dry pavement seems as good as any. They feel a bit hard on dry pavement, but perform pretty well...

These tires came on my 2013 Hyundai Sonata Limited. I've put 25,000 miles on them so far. Wear seems okay. Road noise seems average (not the best). Hydroplaning resistance seems average at best. TERRIBLE in snow/ice. Performance on dry pavement seems as good as any. They "feel" a bit "hard" on dry pavement, but perform pretty well. I'll hope that I survive the winters, then buy different tires when these wear out.

...The dry condition performance is decent though...

Just moved out of an 06 WRX with the Continental ExtremeContact DW's (great tire BTW) recently put on it. I know I am a little biased from moving from the AWD to FWD but the overall quality of these "all-season" tires is awful. I will be buying a new set ALREADY! The dry condition performance is decent though. So if you run no risk of being caught in snow or heavy rain they will suffice.

...You WILL hydroplane on a puddle over 25mph...

This tire came stock on my 12' Accent SE Hatch... Wow, awful. Snow in Massachusetts may not be abundant this year, but what we HAVE had in snow makes these tires utterly useless. Had them rotated twice already, almost down to the wear marks at 14k miles. Noisy, hard side-wall feel, but thin side-wall under-steer. Not stable on the highway at all.

You WILL get blown around by the wind, you WILL hydroplane on a puddle over 25mph, you WILL activate the ABS at the stupidest times, and you WILL hate yourself for buying this tire.

Next please.

...They are also completely useless in snow or ice or even in heavy rain...

These tires came stock on my 2011 Hyundai Accent sport hatch, and even though I babied it and rarely ever exceeded 65mph on highway, 40 everywhere else,they were worn down to wearbars with less than 20k miles. Contacted Kumho, they didnt even return messages or try to help. They are also completely useless in snow or ice or even heavy rain. Only good thing is they are quiet and decent in dry warm weather. Unless dirt cheap, find something better.

This has got to be the worst set of tires I have ever driven on. Any amount of rain or snow and you are in a sled. A total pathetic tire that I will NEVER use again. I would never buy a car with Kumho tires ever! My Mustang Cobra is better in the snow then my Sonata with these tires

...loses all traction and control even going 5 mph. At 5 mph you can easily drive off the road. You're better off with bald tires on ice than these tires...

These tires are deadly. Any snow fall and the driver loses all traction and control even going 5 mph. At 5 mph you can easily drive off the road. You're better off with bald tires on ice than these tires. I bought a brand new car and during the 1st snow fall thought it was me. 2nd snow fall and having to drive around to find a road without an incline so I could get to work, I knew it was not me. No traction to stop - go through red lights- car stop when no forward momentum. Possibly deadly. Surprised they are even allowed to be sold.

...Tires are very noisy. Ride quality is only average, some harsh bumps really get transmitted to the suspension...

OEM tire on my 2011 Sonata GLS. Tires have 22,500 on them and all four have 6/32" tread depth remaining according to the Hyundai dealer. Should be good for another 10,000 miles at the most. Tires are very noisy. Traction control kicks in when accelerating on wet pavement. Ride quality is only average, some harsh bumps really get transmitted to the suspension. Steering response is decent, and the tires hold corners well. Snow traction is only fair. Snow over 5" can get very dicey as the tires scramble for traction. Starting in 2nd gear is a must with these tires in deeper snow. Light snow (1"-3") is a little better but not 100% confidence inspiring. No all-season tire will be effective on ice, and these are no exception. If the roads are icy, stay home. When these tires need replacing I will be choosing something else. Nothing against Kumho, but will most likely stay away from the Solus line of tires. Would be willing to try the Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum in the OEM size.

Stock on new car.They're coming off.Bought the Limited trim for the touring-style comfort,as opposed to the sport-tuned SE trim. Kumhos are bumpy,noisy and wobbly. Hyundai should know better.

...The ride is very bad and they throw aweful road noise...

Hate these tires! Have a little over 20K miles on my '13 kia optima EX and they have already worn out. Given the road conditions aren't ideal here, but anything eats them up. The ride is very bad and they throw aweful road noise. Will not be buying again! I'll be sticking to the continentals I had on my last car.

...Trend wear is not good, had to change these tires out at 28,000 miles...

Worst tires you can possibly use in snow/ice. Does not have any traction and the car won't come to stop, every time you press brakes ABS kicks inn and the car will just slide. Trend wear is not good either, had to change these tires out at 28,000 miles. Went with continental pure contact and they are much better in snow. Hyundai, start using better tires in your cars.

...Tread wear also is not too good...

Dry weather performance is just O.K. My automatic Ford Fiesta will easily spin the tires. Wet performance is poor and they seem easy to hydroplane. Ice and snow performance is horrible. Tread wear also is not too good. On the plus side, they are quiet and seem to ride alright. I would definitely spend the extra money for a good set of Michelin MXV4's which I had on my last car. They had very good wet and dry performance and quite good on snow and ice in Michigan winters.

I am already having to look for new tires because these have worn extremely quickly. I have never seen tires wear out so quickly...

I purchased my car about 8 months ago and only have 15000 miles on it. I am already having to look for new tires because these have worn extremely quickly. I have never seen tires wear out so quickly. A lot of what was said above also applies to what I'm experiencing with these tires (except the snow because I live in Florida). I don't recommend these tires to anyone who does a lot of driving or can have a lead foot like I have. What ever you do don't get these tires. Spend the extra money and get some better tires. You will have better luck with them than these tires.
