Kumho Launches New All-Weather Grand Touring Tire, the Solus HA32

Kumho said the new Solus HA32 features a V-shaped directional tread pattern, 3PMS rating and a pine resin compound for improved snow and wet traction.

Kumho Tire has launched its new Solus HA32 grand touring, all-weather tire. Developed for the drivers of passenger cars, CUVs, and SUVs looking for all-weather capability including snow traction, Kumho said the Solus 4S HA32 provides stable driving performance on wet, dry and snow-covered roads. This tire features a V-shaped directional tread pattern with wide lateral grooves to enhance traction and resist hydroplaning and bears the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMS) symbol for severe snow service.

On Jan. 1, the Solus 4S HA32 will be initially available in 26 sizes ranging from 15- to 19-in. rim sizes.

According to Kumho, some key features and benefits of the HA32 are:

  • 60,000-mile treadwear warranty and road hazard protection for all passenger and SUV sizes;
  • Hourglass visual wear indicator helps identify when winter performance is decreased and tires need replacing;
  • 3D interlocking sipes improve shoulder block stiffness improving handling in all conditions;
  • A new high-grip compound developed with pine resin decreases braking distances and maximizes snow grip;
  • 3D slope tie-bars connect the center blocks for improved straight driving and water evacuation.
