The all-season tyre Kumho Solus HA31 is a compromise between exceptional traction on snow and great grip on dry and wet roads. The model will fit on 13-18-inch rims and is in the mid-range in terms of price. It was designed with passenger cars in mind.
Kumho Solus HA31 was constructed in such a way as to ensure best driving dynamics both in winter and in summer. The directional tread pattern comes in especially useful on rainy days – the water is expelled from beneath the tyre, thereby reducing the risk of aquaplaning. The mechanism is equally efficacious against snow, which is transported through the grooved, central rib into the side grooves, which expel moisture outside the tyre, ensuring good grip in all conditions.
The three-dimensional sipes are carved into a hexagon (cross-section), which allows them to better support the work of the blocks. These features lead to improving the stability of handling and increasing the control of the trajectory. The tyre's attractive look is also worth noting. The model delights the eye both from the front and when looking at the sidewalls, the design of which was painstakingly refined.
Kumho is one of the biggest companies in South Korea. The company invests in the development of innovative technologies in the tyre industry, which led it to become one of the pioneers of the Run Flat tyres. Kumho is often selected not just by car owners, but also by the biggest car manufacturers such as Hyundai and Mercedes-Benz.
