Description Kumho Solus KH19
The Kumho Solus KH19 is a summer model where the key requirement is not narrow specialization, but maximum adaptability to various formats of dynamic driving. The basis of the tire is a modular system of special compounds. The composition represents a calibrated formula, where all the ratios of components that provide the required characteristics are adjusted. The compound provides a quick transition to the optimal temperature regime of adhesion (fast "heating") and maintains the stability of characteristics in a wide thermal range. This allows the tire to work effectively, both in conditions of short-term but extreme heat effects, and during prolonged cyclic heating on the track.
The design of the tire is not aesthetics, but a functional borrowing of principles. The shape and arrangement of massive blocks in the shoulder areas, with their elongated curved edges, are designed in analogy with effective natural adhesion surfaces. Such geometry provides an "intelligent" contact patch. When the lateral load increases, there is a progressive and predictable involvement of new block edges in contact, which gives the driver clear feedback and even pressure distribution over the surface. This directly increases the reliability of control at the limit of adhesion in a turn.
Key features of Kumho Solus KH19:
- thanks to the calibrated formula of the compound, the tire works effectively under loads of varying intensity;
- precise handling and feedback - a patented tread pattern that mimics natural adhesion principles guarantees a clear response to steering and predictable vehicle behavior at all speeds;
- an enhanced carcass architecture in combination with an optimized sidewall profile minimizes unwanted deformations, directly increasing directional stability and control in high-speed turns.
