Kumho Solus 4S HA32

Two scoring systems, side by side

Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.

How scores work
Relative score
0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests
0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews
0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 4,207 owner reviews found online.

The Kumho Solus 4S HA32 generally receives positive feedback as an affordable, reliable all-season tire that delivers solid value for money, dependable wet/winter traction, and a comfortable ride. While a minority of users reported issues regarding high wear, noise, or less predictable handling in extreme conditions compared to premium brands, the vast majority find them to be a competent and safe everyday tire.

Pros

  • Excellent value for money compared to premium alternatives
  • Good grip and confidence-inspiring performance in wet and winter conditions
  • Comfortable ride quality that effectively absorbs road imperfections and potholes
  • Attractive tread pattern and solid build quality
  • Low road noise initially, with many reporting a quieter ride than previous sets

Cons

  • Some users reported faster-than-expected tread wear or peeling
  • Road noise can increase or become prominent in hot weather or as the tires age
  • Dry cornering and high-temperature performance lack the sharpness of dedicated summer tires
  • Occasional complaints regarding wet-weather traction or aquaplaning resistance under aggressive driving

Worth knowing

  • Owners fitting these on crossovers and SUVs (such as the VW Tiguan and Kia Sportage) noted improved cornering stability and a reassuring, planted feel.
  • Drivers with smaller hatchbacks and commuter cars appreciated the balance of comfort and reasonable pricing, though some RWD vehicle owners experienced minor wheel spin in the wet.

What owners are saying

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of the scores above.

Community sentiment regarding the Kumho Solus 4S HA32 is mixed, with users appreciating its budget-friendly pricing, decent winter capability with 3PMSF rating, and low road noise. However, tread life and wear rate draw frequent criticism, with multiple owners reporting rapid degradation and edge wear sooner than expected. It is largely viewed as an accessible lower-tier or entry-level all-weather alternative to premium options like the Michelin CrossClimate.
