The Solus TA51a is Kumho's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for drivers of compact cars, passenger sedans, crossovers and SUVs looking for a reliable daily driver joined with a luxuriously quiet experience. Targeting dependable performance in wet and dry conditions, the Solus TA51a aims to deliver Kumho's combination of ride comfort, low noise and all-season traction, even in light snow.
Solus TA51a tires feature a high-grip silica compound molded into an asymmetric tread pattern designed to maintain traction in all weather conditions. Technological advances, such as the noise-canceling ribs integrated directly into the tire's grooves dissipate road sounds. 3-Dimensional chamfered edges of the tread blocks take advantage of the tire's natural deformation under load to maximize tread contact. Quad circumferential grooves help expel water to resist hydroplaning, while high 3-D sipe density enhances both wet weather handling and wintertime snow traction.
The internal construction of the Kumho Solus TA51a consists of a 2-ply polyester body casing for additional protection and ride quality. This foundation supports a layer of twin steel belts for satisfying handling and stability topped by two nylon cap plies granting the reinforcement needed to maintain uniformity and high-speed performance.
El neumático Solus TA51a de Kumho pertenece a la categoría: Gran Turismo Para Toda Estación y fue desarrollado para conductores que buscan una conducción diaria confiable conjuntamente de una experiencia tranquila y lujosa, al conducir sus autos compactos, sedanes de pasajeros, utiliautos (crossovers) y vehículos utilitarios deportivos (SUV, por sus siglas en inglés). Con el objetivo de proporcionar un rendimiento confiable en condiciones mojadas y secas, el Solus TA51a ofrece la combinación de una andar confortable, bajo nivel de ruido y tracción en todas las estaciones del año, incluso en superficies cubiertas con poca nieve.
El Solus TA51a cuenta con una compuesto de caucho de sílice de alto agarre moldeado en una banda de rodamiento con patrón asimétrico, para mantener tracción en todas las condiciones climáticas. Avances tecnológicos, como la red de cancelación de ruido integrada directamente en las ranuras del neumático, disipan ruidos de la carretera. Bordes tridimensionales biselados en los bloques o tacos de la huella aprovechan la deformación natural del neumático al recibir peso, para maximizar el contacto de la huella con la superficie. Cuatro canales circunferenciales ayudan a expulsar el agua, para resistir el deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning), mientras que un gran número de pequeñas ranuras tridimensionales mejoran tanto la maniobrabilidad en climas mojadas, como la tracción sobre superficies con nieve ligera.
La construcción interna del Solus TA51a de Kumho posee una estructura de dos capas de poliéster para proporcionar una protección adicional y mejorar la calidad del andar. Esta base soporta una capa de correas gemelas de acero, para ofrecer un manejo y estabilidad confortable, dos capas de nailon en la parte superior proporcionan el refuerzo necesario para mantener la uniformidad y el rendimiento a velocidades rápidas.

...Handling and traction are excellent, even in wet conditions...
I couldn’t be happier with these new tires. The ride is noticeably smoother and quieter, and my car feels more stable and confident on the road—especially at highway speeds. Handling and traction are excellent, even in wet conditions. This was a great upgrade, and I’d absolutely recommend these tires to anyone looking for quality, comfort, and reliability.

These Kumho tires excel in that and haven't had any issues in wet conditions!...
These tires are great and definitely an upgrade from the Laufenn tires I had before in which were “sportier” and were supposed to be great on dry conditions. These Kumho tires excel in that and haven’t had any issues in dry or wet conditions! The only thing that I can negatively say about them is that the steering feel is very light and while it handles bumps and different pavement well, you can definitely “feel” what you are going over through your foot and steering wheel. Nonetheless, I say for the price these are great all season touring tires and have great performance in comfortability and reliability. Would 100% purchase again I would say these are above average for sure.

...It changed the ride and handling tremendously and I'm sure the wet handling and snow performance will meet the ratings posted...
I purchased the tires for my Sister in Laws Van. She moved back from Florida and needed better tires for the all around conditions in the Northeast. It changed the ride and handling tremendously and I’m sure the wet handling and snow performance will meet the ratings posted. Wear ratings were very good so I’m sure they will be on it for a long time given here light driving schedule. Thanks for having an awesome website where you can compare tire ratings and pricing to suit the needs of the customer and vehicle. This vehicle needed a set of good all season tires but not the expense of the high end brands. The ones we picked are right in the middle between high end and the no name options.

...What was unexpected was decent traction in snow. This was true for the Subaru Sambar that they were on before the Daihatsu.
Kei trucks are not performance vehicles by any stretch, however these tires turned the truck from a golf-cart into a go-cart. Of course any good tire would have been an improvement over the stock truck tires. I've had (different model) Kumhos on my BMW Z3 and loved them so was optimistic on how they would do on a vehicle on the other end of the spectrum. I was impressed with the smooth ride and great cornering (for a mini-truck) on dry payment. What was unexpected was decent traction in snow. This was true for the Subaru Sambar that they were on before the Daihatsu.

...These tires deliver on all of these factors, in addition they are surprisingly good in light snow and rough ice. I do switch to dedicated winter tires for the 1/2 year that we have such conditions, but I got to try these in winter conditions before the changeover.
This size of tire reduces choices in the US to just a few tires. I tried these as the manufacturer is reputable and the cost was reasonable, also the focus on quiet ride and a smooth ride were high priorities. These tires deliver on all of these factors, in addition they are surprisingly good in light snow and rough ice. I do switch to dedicated winter tires for the 1/2 year that we have such conditions, but I got to try these in winter conditions before the changeover.

...In deep snow it was trash but manageable. On packed ice it was great not as bad as deep fresh snow...
I drive a lot. Let's put it there. I also Uber and Lyft on the side. Anywho I got these tires in CT during the snow in January. In deep snow it was trash but manageable. On packed ice it was great not as bad as deep fresh snow. These tires were great in the slush and the rain afterwards. Now we are getting more rain and I feel completely safe and comfortable with these. I am on the spirited driver spectrum so do with that as you will. These tires are great for the money.

...When roads are dry the traction is good and the steering is responsive without pushing it through the corners...
Feels like a more expensive tire, really quiet. I never push the car hard on wet conditions but it feels in control at speeds under 55 mph on the hwy or 20-30 on city streets. When roads are dry the traction is good and the steering is responsive without pushing it through the corners.
