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.

...It is a much smoother and quieter ride and grips very well in wet conditions...
These tires are a huge improvement over my previous tires that I bought at Discount Tires (Bravura), It is a much smoother and quieter ride and grips very well in wet conditions. I bought the Kumho brand because I had a very good experience when I put this brand on my Corvette back in the 90's. Very pleased with these tires.

...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.

...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.

...Traction has not been an issue even on loose gravel roads.
Recently installed these on my Tesla. I travel a mixed variety of dirt road, city, streets, state highways, and interstate roads. So far the tires perform well. Tires offer a nice ride quality even at 42 PSI. Traction has not been an issue even on loose gravel roads.

Fantastic handling and responsive, quiet and effective in wet & dry conditions...
Fantastic handling and driving tires. They are responsive, quiet and effective in wet & dry conditions. However, they wear out like crazy. They wear evenly, but they wear out too fast. Perhaps, it's the heavy 4-door Genesis V8 vehicle simply wearing down the tread. But, I've gone through two sets unsettlingly fast. I'm going to try something else.

I couldn't be happier with them, these tires are so whisper quiet and ride as smooth as silk. I replaced some off-road tires with them and I could not believe the difference.
