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.

Kumho Solus KH25 Reviews

User feedback reveals the Kumho Solus KH25 delivers strong dry traction (scores 8-10 dominate) with responsive handling in ideal conditions, aligning with Grand Touring expectations. However, comfort receives mixed ratings (common scores 4-6), with some noting excessive road noise and inconsistent ride smoothness. Treadwear shows polarizing results-some report premature wear (scores 0-5), while others cite average longevity. Winter performance falls short (frequent 0-3 ratings), struggling in snow/ice despite its all-season designation. Wet traction proves adequate for light rain (scores 5-7 typical) but shows hydroplaning concerns in heavy downpours. Best suited for drivers prioritizing dry-road competence over all-weather versatility.

...They were quiet, wore great on the front, confident in the rain and dry handling was excellent...

I have had these tires on my 2016 Hyundai Accent for over 46k miles.
They have performed excellent considering the car they're mounted on.
They wore very well and evenly. I'll get atleast 50k miles out of them, maybe
55k. They were quiet, wore great on the front, confident in the rain and dry handling
was excellent. I'll purchase again if there's nothing better for cheaper.

Wet traction ratings show concerning inconsistency, with many scores between 0-6. Customers report poor grip, sliding on wet roads, and hydroplaning tendencies. While some give 7-10s, numerous dissatisfied owners describe unacceptable performance in rainy conditions.

...These (like the original set on the car) have poor snow/wet traction. To the point that I have to slow down 10-15 mph in the rain and even more than that in the snow...

2nd set of factory OEM tires for my 2011 Sonata. These (like the original set on the car) have poor snow/wet traction. To the point that I have to slow down 10-15 mph in the rain and even more than that in the snow. I only put the second set on the car as they were nearly free when I purchased a new set of rims from the dealer (Ohio pot holes ate the other set of rims).

Will not put these tires on the car again. Far better options available

...The wet traction leaves a lot to be desired.

I am the second owner of this 2013 Dart. It had 44k miles on the tires when I purchased the car. It now has 110,700+ miles before the wear reached the tread wear marks. The DOT labels are 11/14. Dry traction is good to excellent even with very little tread. The wet traction leaves a lot to be desired.

I live in Wyoming and travel the roads in winter time. Felt like I was driving on completely bald tires. I'm very cautious in the winter but these tires made driving in snow and ice nearly impossible.

I live in Wyoming and travel the roads in winter time. Felt like I was driving on completely bald tires. I'm very cautious in the winter but these tires made driving in snow and ice nearly impossible. Felt like being on an inner tube behind a boat when rain was heavy, which is out of control, for those you who have never been on a tube behind a boat. You can simply look at the tread on the tires and debate if its a summer only tire intended for perfect street conditions.
At 34,000 miles on these tires and in dire need of replacing, I am very disappointed to say the least! I do traffic control for road construction and understand wear and tear on tires as I spent 90% of my time in a vehicle.

...Definitely not recommended if you live anywhere that gets snow or ice, these tires are really quite terrible in the snow. I had a drive to work where the road was almost entirely iced over, and the tires made that drive extremely difficult to maintain control. The backend of the car saw no traction, and you could feel that at the steering wheel.

Rough ride, loud, quickly wearing, barely acceptable on snow, down right frightening on ice.

I had a drive to work where the road was almost entirely iced over, and the tires made that drive extremely difficult to maintain control.

These are noisy and wear quickly. Highway driving is pretty harsh. In 12,000 miles, I've lost 3/32" on two of the tires, both of which are at opposite sides and ends of the vehicle; tires are regularly rotated. I'm not doing burnouts folks, just driving back and forth to work!

Breakdown - Scale: Terrible, OK, Good, Great/Excellent.
Snow/Ice: Terrible. DO NOT BUY if you will be driving in an area prone to these conditions.
Rain/Wet: OK. Definitely not the best and not all that confidence inspiring, but good enough. Accelerating in the wet quickly gets the wheels spinning.
Dry: Good. Noisy, but otherwise good.
Highway: OK. Would be passable if you needed tires right now, but they are noisy and ride is harsh over bumps.

Summary: Relatively crappy OEM tires that, sure, they'll get the job done, but are not comfortable and are relatively useless in the snow and ice.

O.E tire from Hyundai. This tire is a piece of junk. Steering response is very vague, and handling in any condition is terrible for what the car is capable of. My largest complaint is the ride comfort- these things just crash and drum over any road imperfections. Forget about absorbing the impact, these things seem to magnify it. If you live in an area where it snows even sometimes these are about as useless as summer tires. Absolutely no traction whatsoever in even light snow. Avoid at all costs.

...Was happily surprised when they went all the way to 82,000 miles before needing to be replaced. Had no noise, vibration or wear issues, and never even had the tires balanced in the 3 1/2 years they were on the car...

These tires were the original equipment on my Hyundai Sonata Limited. Had no problems or issues with them the whole time the were on my car. Since they were original equipment I figured I'd be luck to get 40,000 to 50,000 miles out of them. Was happily surprised when they went all the way to 82,000 miles before needing to be replaced. Had no noise, vibration or wear issues, and never even had the tires balanced in the 3 1/2 years they were on the car. I drive in Southern California, and commute to work on the freeway approx. 27 miles each way every day. Usually my commuting speeds are between 67-75 mph, but may be faster at times. I also take long road trips around the Southwest, to Arizona and Las Vegas NV, etc., and do speeds of 80-85-90mph for regular time periods. Have driven cross country to Buffalo NY and Baltimore MD and Wash D.C. as well.. also do my share of city/town driving in this car, but the majority of miles is Highway travel.
I try to keep the air pressure at 32-35psi, and rotate the tires myself approx. every 7000 miles. Really didn't do any winter/snow driving. And being in SoCal, there was just occasional rain or wet weather mileage, but they still seemed to perform well.
When it came time to replace these tires I wanted to get another set of these, but found there wasn't any mileage/wear rating listed for them, and they were priced at $105 apiece at my tire dealer. But having been impressed with these Kumho tires I decided to stick with the brand, and bought a set of Kumho Solus TA31's for my car. I found they had good ratings from other folks online, are rated at 60,000 miles, and were only $85 apiece. So I saved $20 per tire, and I've been very happy with them so far. I used to buy Michellin's at Costco, but a set of 60,000 mile Michellin's for my car would've cost almost $900 at Costco. I got my set of Kumho's installed for about half of that. Again, very happy with the Kumho's and that deal.
