Automobile summer tires Kumho Solus KH16 was developed specifically for fans of a sporty and aggressive driving style, who care about ensuring an increased level of safety and comfort of movement.
This tire easily adapts to any conditions of summer use, primarily due to the special computer-modelled tread pattern design. Numerous sipes provide a confident grip on the road surface. At the same time, the tread itself is designed in such a way that it minimizes noise generation when driving.
The non-directional structure, modelled using a computer system, guarantees the Kumho Solus KH16 car tires safe, reliable, and confident movement on summer roadways. The tread sipe system creates excellent adhesion to any type of road surface. The powerful central tread rib stabilizes the vehicle’s directional stability when driving at high speed in a straight line. Rigid shoulder ribs with additional grip edges create a secure rectangular contact patch that minimizes the possibility of a loss of control over machine behavior.
Pros
- Excellent wet and dry grip.
- Cornering grip.
- Precise steering.
Cons
- Winter performance.
General opinion
The central rib of the tire guarantees high directional stability when driving in a straight line. And the confidence when cornering is given to the tire by reinforced sidewalls, which, in addition, keep the shape of the tire, increasing its wear resistance, as well as its acceleration and braking characteristics. The shoulder blocks are also aligned to reduce noise and enhance wet traction.
The optimized shape, structure of the elements, and the pattern of this tire increase the performance characteristics, as well as help to absorb vibration from contact with the road while driving, and also make the tire resistant to various mechanical influences.
An important characteristic of a summer tire is aquaplaning resistance. In this tire, it is achieved thanks to four annular longitudinal sipes. They quickly and effectively remove moisture from the contact patch with the road surface.
In general, like its predecessor, the Kumho Solus KH16 tire will certainly please not only with its low-cost relative to similar tire models but also with excellent performance characteristics and will serve its owner for more than one season.
Prices for the KH16 start at $ 62 and up. The company provides a 6-year or 60,000-mile tread warranty.
