Product description & features
The Kumho Solus HA31 is a new generation tyre which has been constructed with a new, unique compoud and an innovative tread pattern.
The tyre's high sillica content in the make up of the tread allows this tyre to remain flexible and responsive all year round - in both summer and winter conditions. Kumho have designed the Solus HA31 with a high proportion of sipes and a wide tread blocks - these help to remove water from the path of the tyre, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning.
What is an all season tyre
Designed to cope with all sorts of conditions – with a good performance delivered throughout the year. A moderate natural rubber content is used to stop the tyre hardening in temperatures below 7 degrees.
How can I tell an all season tyre performs in winter weather?
This tyre features the EU sanctioned 3PMSF marking - Three Peak Mountain Snowflake:
This accolade was introduced to be an easily recognisable symbol which displays that the tyre has passed standardised, controlled, and, rigorous tests. It confirms the winter suitability of a tyre.
Are all season tyres suitable for the UK?
Given that the UK suffers from milder and interchangeable winter conditions - with severe ice and snow becoming uncommon for much of the country - this makes all season tyres a very good choice for our roads. As they can cope with these conditions very well.
Do I need to swap my tyres throughout the year?
Given the nature of all season tyres, which can perform equally well in the summer and winter months, the need to replace tyres based on the season is not required.
We recommend that all season tyres should be fitted as a full set of 4.
