SOLUS TA71
Kumho All-Season Tires
Kumho Tires launched the Solus TA71 a few months ago with a lot of expectations. The Kumho Solus TA71 is engineered to handle all forms of weather, from cups and sedans to small crossings and minivans, to ensure safe handling and a quiet and smooth ride.
The Solus TA71 has more resistance, stronger pull in cold weather, and a longer lifestyle with its nano-silica compound in the tread. In order to achieve precision steering reaction and central handling during the year, this asymmetric pattern provides a nano-silica compound.
Kumho’s TA71 has four wide railings, which reduces the chances of hydroplaning, for efficient and fast water channeling. The snow-sipes of the tire are also perfectly angled on ices and snow-covered surfaces for excellent traction.

There are twin spiraled steel nylon ceilings in the TA71’s carcass to enhance the reliability of the tread structure and provide greater traction when moving at high speeds. Kumho attached jointless bead packages to the pneumatic for ease, vibration isolation, and an overall silent ride.
Pros and Cons
The Kumho Solus TA71 offers drivers:
– A smooth and quiet driving experience.
– Excellent tread life.
– Reliable dry and wet traction.
– Steady and precise cornering.
However, one drawback to this tire is its performance on ice-covered surfaces, but this is to be expected from all-season tires such as this. If you are driving in snow/ice all winter, we certainly recommend a dedicated winter tire.
