Continental VikingContact 8 vs Kumho Solus 4S HA32 — Compared

“Stock tyres have done 25k miles and the rears are now approaching the limit. Plan to replace all 4 for continuity and want to use this opportunity to run all seasons. Car is a Model 3 SR+ on 18" rims. Was originally looking at the Vredestein Quatrac Pro but during a search found that Kumho now do a very well priced option (£515 fully fitted). I've used Kumho tyres previously on a heavy BMW 5 series estate and was really happy with the grip and longevity. Does anyone have any particular experience with the Kumho Solus 4S HA32 on a Tesla 3/Y? These have the 3PMSF (Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake) marking on them, which from 5 mins of research appears to be a new standard replacing/alongside M+S (mud and snow). One purpose of getting the all seasons is the ability to drive in European countries that mandate tyres suitable for winter conditions at certain times of the year.”

“Kumho HA32 fast wear Hey all, would just like to share my experience with the solus ha32 4 season by kumho. These tires were installed at 173,000km last September and currently have 188,000km… around 15,000km give or take 10,000 miles in all types of weather. They are nearing end of life already.. thoughts? Overall they do ok in the snow but arent amazing. Noise isnt horrible, but the wear holy man this is crazy. I had the front suspension replaced as well as an alignment on the day of tire installation. Read more”

“Best Affordable Tires Hello! I need to get all four tires replaced on my 2019 Hyundai ELANTRA SEL and I’m looking for an affordable All Weather tire recommendations. Car might see three big days of snow (based in Kansas but probably going to be out of state when that weather is occurring). Other than that, just mild flurry’s, nothing that really sticks. It’s really hard with the budget we have which is around $600 for all 4. Not sure if we’re gonna find any good ones within that range but thought I’d ask people who know what they’re talking about before I just go with the cheapest tire I can find and pray I don’t spin out lol. TYIA! Edit/Update: Thank you to everyone who replied! I ended up going with Kumho SOLUS 4S HA32 tires. I know they’re not the greatest but since I will most likely be out of Kansas when they have their heavy snow winter weather we just needed some good tires for basically just dry road and rain👏 They were cheaper at Walmart and used the American Tires price match to get them for cheaper! Would’ve gotten them installed through Walmart to save but just in case something happens in Kansas the Discount Tires is more accessible and with tire coverage will be a cheaper repairs. Thank you again! Read more”
