Our take

The Kumho Majesty Solus stands out for its exceptional wet grip, with a score of 9.5 that far exceeds the grand touring all-season category average of 7.4. This makes it a compelling choice for drivers in regions with frequent rain. However, the absence of a treadwear warranty and a UTQG treadwear rating of 500 suggest a potentially shorter lifespan, which could be a concern for cost-conscious buyers. In terms of comfort and noise, the Majesty Solus meets the category averages with scores of 8 in both areas, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride. However, its R speed rating is on the lower side for this segment, which might not suit drivers looking for higher speed capabilities. When compared to competitors like the General AltiMAX RT45, which offers a treadwear warranty, the Majesty Solus might incur higher long-term costs due to its lack of a mileage guarantee. The BFGoodrich Advantage Control and Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ also offer competitive features in this segment. Overall, the Majesty Solus is best suited for drivers who prioritize wet grip and comfort but should be avoided by those who value a long treadwear warranty and higher speed ratings. Consider the General AltiMAX RT45 if a warranty and longer tread life are more important to you.

Pros

  • Wet grip score of 9.5 significantly exceeds the category average of 7.4, making it a strong performer in rainy conditions.
  • Comfort and noise scores both meet the category average of 8, ensuring a quiet and pleasant ride typical of grand touring all-season tires.
  • Traction grade of AA supports its strong wet grip performance, providing reliable stopping power on wet roads.

Cons

  • Lack of a treadwear warranty could increase long-term costs compared to competitors with mileage guarantees.
  • No treadwear warranty is offered, which is unusual for the grand touring all-season segment where competitors like the General AltiMAX RT45 provide mileage guarantees.
  • Treadwear rating of 500 falls short of the category average UTQG of 574, indicating potentially shorter lifespan compared to rivals.
  • Speed rating of R is lower than typical for this category, which might limit its appeal for drivers seeking higher speed capabilities.
