This model guarantees great handling, a fuel efficient performance, superb all weather performance and a lengthened usability. Kumho offers a 75,000 mile treadwear warranty with the Solus TA11.

Comfort Above All Else

High comfort levels are desired during long distance driving. The road disturbances reaching the vehicle’s cabin can ruin the enjoyment of the vehicle’s performance and it results in an uncomfortable driving experience. Touring tires are well-known for their comfortable performing capability as manufacturers utilize different technologies to achieve a comfortable and enjoyable drive.

The Solus TA11 was designed and produced with Kumho’s unique ESCOT technology. ESCOT stands for Excellent and Smart Contour Optimization Theory, which enhances the tire’s contour, shape, sidewall stiffness and road contact to lower the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin. This technology decreases the road vibrations by ensuring constant road contact, which allows the tire to absorbs the shock of driving. Furthermore, the improved sidewall stiffness enables the tire to closely follows the road surface throughout the tire’s performance, which manages to lessen the road disturbances felt during the tire’s performance.

The model also manages to decrease the road noise levels generated during the drive. The tread pattern’s closed shoulder design and the variable pitch phase shift work together to reduce the road and tread pattern noise. The closed shoulder pattern prevents airwaves from entering and coming into contact with the tread elements. The variable pitch phase shift creates a sound frequency that negates the road noise levels heard while the tires are in motion. In this manner, the road and tread pattern noise don’t disturb the driving comfort and enjoyment of the passengers, ensuring a quiet drive.

Controllability and Handling

A tire’s controllability determines its usability. The tire’s optimal road contact enhances its steering responsiveness and driving stability which enables the driver to confidently and precisely control the vehicle throughout the year.

The Solus TA11’s ESCOT technology and maintained constant road contact upgrade the control the driver has over the vehicle. The ESCOT technology optimizes the tire’s shape and sidewall stiffness, which improves the driving stability. The stiff sidewalls and optimal shape revise the pressure distribution along the entire tire, which stabilizes its structure against the driving pressure affecting the model. The maintained road contact of the three continuous center ribs enhances the steering responsiveness, by boosting its precision and response time.

The special tread design, with the wavy siping detail increases the model’s braking capability. These special sipes manage to shorten the braking distance significantly. They improve the model’s braking ability by creating friction between the tire and the road surface. This friction increases the tire’s grip on the road surface and shortens the braking distance, promoting a safer performing capability.

All Weather Performance

All season tires provide remarkable all weather traction and they ensure a secure performing capability throughout the year. They are the most popular models on the tire market as they are able to securely perform in different conditions.

The special all season compound and detailed asymmetric tread design work together to boost the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The compound features double silicone rubber materials that maintain the tread flexibility in all weather, including in colder winter conditions. The tread’s ribbed pattern features a detailed siping pattern increases the number of biting edges gripping the road surface all year round. The better road grip upgrades the tire’s driving safety.

The tread’s wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning. Hydroplaning is a dangerous road hazard that occurs when the water and slush stuck on the road surface cuts off the tire’s contact with the road surface, which causes the vehicle to skid. The tire’s four deep circumferential grooves avoid hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire’s footprint, upgrading the wet and winter weather performance.

Fuel Efficiency

The tire’s rolling resistance is the external force affecting them during their performance. This force determines the amount of energy the vehicle needs to maintain their motion. Manufacturers strive to lower their tires’ rolling resistance as it makes them more fuel efficient, making them more popular on the tire market.

The Solus TA11 was made with a dual silicone tire compound, which improves its traction and lowers the pressure affecting it during the drive. The better traction eases the driving pressure off the tire, decreasing its rolling resistance. This enables the tire to reduce the vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, guaranteeing an environmentally friendly and fuel conscious driving experience.

Lengthened Tread Life

A longer lasting tread life extends the tire’s usability. Kumho offers a 75,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.

The Solus TA11 was manufactured from a double silicone compound and formed into an asymmetric tread design. The compound’s lowered rolling resistance and its prevention of heat build-up significantly slows the tread wear rate down, while the tread’s optimal road contact ensures even pressure distribution along the entire tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking lengthen the tread life by preventing irregular tread wear formations on the tire’s surface.
