Our take

The Kumho Solus TA51 is a solid choice for drivers who prioritize comfort and longevity in a grand touring all-season tire. Its 65,000-mile treadwear warranty surpasses the category average, making it a reliable option for high-mileage commuters. The tire's comfort and noise scores both meet the category benchmarks, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride on long trips. In terms of performance attributes, the Solus TA51 delivers a wet grip rating of 7.5, slightly above the category average, which is reassuring for those frequently driving in wet conditions. However, its dry grip score of 7.5 is just shy of the average, which could be a consideration for drivers who occasionally engage in spirited driving. When compared to competitors like the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+, the Solus TA51 offers a better warranty but may lag slightly in dry grip performance. The General AltiMAX RT45 and BFGoodrich Advantage Control are also worth considering for those who prioritize different aspects of performance. If you seek a tire with superior dry grip or a higher UTQG treadwear rating, you might explore other options like the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+. Otherwise, the Solus TA51 is a dependable choice for comfort and longevity on the road.

Pros

  • Comfort and noise scores of 8 match the category average, making it a solid choice for long highway drives.
  • The 65,000-mile treadwear warranty exceeds the category average of 62,053 miles, offering above-average longevity.
  • Wet grip rating of 7.5 slightly edges out the category average of 7.4, providing reliable performance in rainy conditions.

Cons

  • The UTQG treadwear rating of 520 suggests it may wear faster than some competitors, impacting long-term durability.
  • UTQG treadwear rating of 520 falls below the category average of 574, which may indicate a shorter lifespan under aggressive driving.
  • Dry grip score of 7.5 is just below the category average of 7.6, potentially affecting performance during spirited driving.
  • The Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ offers a higher dry grip rating, which might be preferable for those prioritizing handling.
