Our take

The Kumho Solus TA71 is a solid option for drivers seeking a comfortable and quiet ride in a grand touring all-season tire. Its comfort and noise scores both match the category benchmarks, making it a good choice for long commutes. The wet grip rating of 7.5 slightly exceeds the average, providing confidence in rainy conditions, although its dry grip is just below the category norm, which might be a consideration for more spirited driving.

With a 60,000-mile treadwear warranty, the Solus TA71 offers reasonable longevity, though it falls slightly short of the category average. In comparison to competitors like the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+, which offers better dry grip, or the General AltiMAX RT45, which might offer a higher speed rating, the Solus TA71 positions itself as a comfort-focused option.

This tire is best suited for drivers who value a smooth and quiet ride over high-speed performance. If your driving involves frequent high-speed runs, consider alternatives with higher speed ratings. Otherwise, the Solus TA71 is a reliable choice for everyday commuting needs.

Pros

  • Comfort and noise scores of 8 align with the category benchmarks, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride.
  • Wet grip rating of 7.5 slightly exceeds the category average of 7.4, offering reliable performance in rainy conditions.
  • Treadwear warranty of 60,000 miles is competitive, although slightly below the category average of 62,053 miles.

Cons

  • The lower speed rating of 'R' may not suit drivers who require high-speed capability on highways.
  • Dry grip score of 7.5 is marginally below the category average of 7.6, which might be noticeable on twisty roads.
  • The Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ offers better dry grip, making it a stronger choice for performance-oriented drivers.
  • Speed rating of 'R' is lower than some competitors, which could limit high-speed performance.
