Kumho Solus TA71 

i got help with 1 of ur representatives, and i wasn t even looking at this tire, but they showed me it was a better tire than i was looking at! i like them so far, dry or wet they make the car feel planted on the road, not noisy, very precise steering wise. would buy again

As a reviewer of Kumho tires before and absolutely loved them,
I bought a new set of these tires, I Did not actually get these from tire rack
But I thought my review should be on here..
I bought these in May 2021 and just did my 1st rotation,and as usual with
My experiences with these Kumho tires in the past,they were perfect.
No wear and Kumho most of read the complaints from before due to tire noise
Because these are QUIET!!! I am so impressed with how well these perform.
Now as I said I put these on in May 2020,I have no data on snow or ice,but
as for dry and rain, these work as good as I remember... These are well worth
Money spent. Yes you can buy a better tire but I prefer to spend my money on QUALITY over a bigger NAME.. Because you will not be disappointed. Update to follow�

Got these tires in 2016, put 50k miles on it. They are great. Comfortable, quiet and thread life is excellent. They are very good in winter on my AWD car but after 50k miles i need to get a new set just because of upcoming winter. There is STILL thread left on it but not quite enough for next winter. Am super happy with price / performance combo. Would def get these again.

I'm 7,000 miles in with these tires. They provide an extremely comfortable ride with excellent traction in dry and wet conditions. In terms of noise, these may be the quietest set of tires that I've ever purchased. I put in a lot of highway miles so that is a feature that I can appreciate. I would definitely purchase these tires again.

Purchased tires in autumn before snowfall. Had fine winter / show performance for first winter, but could not stop car on snow after tires were a year old. Tires were regularly rotated. Got rid on them pretty quick during second winter - switched to Yokohama Avid Ascent GT and have had no repeats of problem.

Tires handled great when new, kinda noisy, chopped quickly, especially compared to the continental extreme contacts I had previously biggest complaint is that 60% of the tire looks bald at 6-7mm tread. Edges have deep sipes however the inside 3 bands look bald as though the sipes aren�t cut deep enough. So at about 50% life you lose wet, hydroplaning, and especially snow traction GREATLY. Also I�ve never had a tire blow out in my life until owning these Kuhmos, in which I�ve had 2 blow out after hitting potholes near my work, that I�ve hit in NUMEROUS cars being a technician and it being on my test drive route.

These tires have an awful lot of road noise. Traction is questionable on wet roads. They do better than average in snow and ice.

I just spent a half hour looking for the screen to review this tire so I could warn others about these tires. Worn out at 17,000 miles of average driving on my old 1995 Mercury. Regular rotation and tire pressure checks, alignment adjusted. The V feeling disappeared years ago from this tire. I just can't believe the ratings I read about these tires. Save your money, or pay a little more. I now have chunks of rubber flying off. Divots in the tire. Four years old...I only drive 4,000 miles a year. I bought these based on the ratings I read here and trying to warn others don't believe everything you read here. I have Coopers on my 2005 Mustang and they are the way to go. I was looking for Coopers here but I guess not carried here for this size and speed rating. If you can, go by friends recommendations...not what you read here. Shocking how I am reading about owners getting 30k+ miles out of these tires. Impossible.

These are the worse tires ever. They are so loud when driving faster than 40mph that its hard to hear the radio. The tread wear is just as bad. Never buy these unless you like loud whirling noises and a rough ride on bad tread wear tires.

The Kuhmo Solus TA71 is a terrible tire. It is rated at 60000 miles. My tires were completely worn out at 20000 miles. They were so worn out that you can see the seam on the tires. The seam is on the tread the entire width of tire. It almost looks like a cut all across tire. I wish I could attach a picture, the tire looks so bad I thought it might blow out. I first thought it was a cut tire but all the tires were starting to do the same thing. I would have replaced tires even sooner but the tire place said one of the tires was not completely down to the tread wear indicator. That was at 18000 miles. Also the tires made the car shimmy and vibrate horribly when coming to a stop. I had thought my rotors were getting warped, and never thought about the vibration coming from the tires. The reason is that the car barely vibrated at speed. It only vibrated when coming to a stop. With new tires the vibration is now gone. The vibration stated to happen with about 8000 miles on the tires. They are really low quality tires. When I bought the tire I did not realize that the tires have no rim protection at all. If you barely touch a curb your rims will get scratched. I touched a curb going through a drive through and it scratched up one of my rims. Buying tires twice costs a lot of money. The tire place prorated the tires for the early wear out. However it still cost a lot of money for replacement. I had to pay for installation, valve stems, TPMS rebuild kit, disposable fee, and alignment. That cost me $500.00, and my time. I think tire stores are happy if your tires wear out early even if they have to prorate the tires. They get to recharge you for everything when they replace them, plus make a profit on the new tires they sell you. I had bought a 60000 mile tire so I would not have to deal with tire replacement for a long time, boy was I wrong. However to only get a third of its rated life means it is absolutely junk.
