The Korean company "Kumho" has been known in the market of automobile tires for quite a long time and is famous, first of all, for the fact that, along with excellent operational characteristics of its products, it offers car enthusiasts a more than acceptable price for them. Kumho Solus KH14 is one of such tires, not "biting" in terms of cost, and at the same time, it has absorbed excellent qualities that are necessary for a tire of its class. This tire is designed specifically for moderate and comfortable driving. It has a speed index of T, which means its maximum speed is 190 kilometers per hour, and in this regard, it stands out from the huge range of sports tires for high-speed driving, which "Kumho" supplies in large quantities to the European market.
This summer tire will delight car enthusiasts with a high level of acoustic comfort while driving, confidence on the road, reliability, durability, and, of course, its affordability, as mentioned above.
The tread pattern design of this tire was developed using a patented computer modeling technology by "Kumho", which made it possible to significantly improve various characteristics - first of all, this affected the properties of the sidewalls, which are resistant to various external mechanical stresses, and also absorb vibrations during movement. The tread pattern has a non-directional character with symmetrical grooves and channels, which provides effective traction with the road and good handling on dry roads.
A feature of this tire is the narrow transverse incisions, the presence of which allows for an even distribution of load - this contributes to a reduction in noise generation, improved traction in the contact zone with the road surface, and also minimizes rolling resistance. The latter parameter gives the tire excellent driving characteristics and increases its wear resistance.
For a summer tire, protection against aquaplaning is very important. Wide ring-shaped longitudinal channels help with this, effectively removing moisture from the contact patch. Thanks to this, skidding on a wet road is virtually eliminated.
Finally, a few words should be said about the shoulder zones of the Kumho Solus KH14 tire. Due to the rigid sidewalls, they support the qualitative properties of acceleration and braking throughout the entire service life of the tire, provide stability when cornering, maneuverability of the tire, and its even wear, which extends its service life.
In general, Kumho Solus KH14 is a very good choice for a summer tire for calm and stable driving. This tire will undoubtedly appeal to lovers of active recreation outside the city.
