OVERVIEW
The Kumho Solus TA71 is a performance and high performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Kumho offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.
The model promotes excellent all weather traction, which is the result of the asymmetric tread design and nano-silica tire compound. The compound is extremely weather flexible and it provides great road grip even in colder temperatures, while the asymmetric tread design features tiny gripping edges on the angled snow sipes that boost the all season road gripping ability. The tire finds great grip on snow and ice-covered roads and ensures a safer driving experience. The four wide circumferential grooves effectively resist hydroplaning by eliminating water from beneath the tire footprint.
The tire's excellent handling and high speed performance are guaranteed with the tread design and internal structure. The tire's structure features twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped nylon that maintain the tire's optimal shape throughout the drive. As a result, the tire does not deform under the high speed driving pressure affecting it, offering a more secure drive. The asymmetric tread design provides a wider road contact patch that improves the model's road contact. This, along with the ESCOT technology which optimizes the sidewall cord tension, increases the steering responsiveness and driving stability and ensures an increased controllability.
The tread design and internal structure also improve the tire's comfort levels. The dynamic tread block design channels the airwaves through the tire footprint, without letting them contact the tread elements. This prevents the road pattern noise from forming while the tires are in motion, decreasing the road noise levels heard in the vehicle's cabin. The jointless bead bundles enable the tire to closely follow the road surface. This lowers the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin during the drive. The reduced road noise and vibration levels promote a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
The Solus TA71's tread life and tire usability are extended. The nano-silica tire compound and the ESCOT Technology's distribution of the driving pressure slow the tread wear rate down and prevent irregular wear patterns from forming across the tread area. The longer lasting tread life extends the tire's usability, making it more cost-efficient.
