This tire is a successor to the Kumho Solus KH15 model and is designed specifically for lovers of non-aggressive, moderate, and comfortable driving. However, the company's strong commitment to high-speed tires for sports cars could not help but affect it, so for most tire sizes, the speed coefficient is H, meaning that the maximum acceleration speed of the tire is 210 km/h.
This tire easily adapts to any conditions of summer operation, primarily due to the specially simulated computer-designed tread pattern. It has a non-directional character. The numerous lamellas that dot the tread provide confident traction with the road surface. At the same time, the tread itself is designed to minimize noise generation when moving.
The central rib of the tire guarantees high directional stability when driving in a straight line. And confidence when passing turns is given to the tire by the reinforced sidewalls, which, in addition to this, hold the shape of the tire, increasing its wear resistance, as well as its acceleration and braking characteristics. The blocks of the shoulder zones are also aligned to reduce noise generation and increase the traction force on a wet road.
The optimized shape, structure of elements, and the tread pattern itself increase the operational characteristics, as well as contribute to the absorption of vibration from contact with the road when moving, and also make the tire resistant to various mechanical effects.
An important characteristic for a summer tire is resistance to aquaplaning. In this tire, it is achieved due to four ring-shaped longitudinal channels. They quickly and efficiently remove moisture from the contact patch with the road surface.
In general, like its predecessor, the Kumho Solus KH16 tire will undoubtedly please not only with its low cost relative to similar tire models but also with excellent operational characteristics and will serve its owner for more than one season.
Distinctive features of the Kumho Solus KH16 tire
- Kumho Solus KH16 is a summer tire for passenger cars with a speed index H, which means that this tire can accelerate up to 210 km/h.
- The rigid character of the tire's sidewall gives the tire maneuverability, confidence when passing turns, directional stability when driving in a straight line, as well as improves the wear resistance of the tire.
- The numerous lamellas that dot the tread provide confident traction with the road surface.
- Reduced rolling resistance contributes to good handling characteristics, increases the wear resistance of the tire, and also reduces fuel consumption by up to five percent, making the tire economical.
- The optimized structure of elements and the tread pattern itself increase the operational characteristics, as well as contribute to the absorption of vibration from contact with the road when moving, and also make the tire resistant to various mechanical effects.
- The central rib of the tread provides high directional stability when moving in a straight line.
- Four ring-shaped longitudinal deep channels provide quick and efficient removal of moisture from the contact zone with the road surface, reducing the risk of aquaplaning on a wet road to zero
- The tread itself is designed to minimize noise generation when moving. High acoustic comfort when moving is also contributed by the aligned blocks of the shoulder zones.
