Kumho Tire Receives High Praise in German Auto Bild Tire Performance Test

‘Sollus 4S HA32+’ Receives Excellent Grade

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Kumho Tire announced on the 7th that its Europe-specialized all-season tire ‘SOLUS 4S HA32+’ received excellent evaluations in the '2022 Tire Test' conducted by 'Auto Bild,' the most prestigious automotive magazine in Europe.

Recently, Auto Bild conducted a first round of braking performance tests on dry and wet surfaces for 35 major all-season tire models sold in the European region. Only the top 15 tires that passed this round proceeded to the second comprehensive test to determine the final ranking. As a result, Kumho Tire’s European bestseller SOLUS 4S HA32+ received high praise for its outstanding driving performance and stability regardless of road conditions, ranking 5th overall and earning the excellent grade of ‘Good.’

The SOLUS 4S HA32+ optimizes grip and drainage performance by applying advanced compound materials and a zigzag intersecting V-shaped pattern. Additionally, through optimized pattern design such as three-dimensional sipes, it delivers enhanced handling and braking performance suitable for any season, including rainy roads, snowy roads, and even slushy surfaces where ice has slightly melted.

Auto Bild evaluated that “it has excellent traction under all road conditions and demonstrates top driving performance based on high mileage performance and short braking distances on snowy roads.”

Jomansik, Head of R&D at Kumho Tire, stated, "The Auto Bild test results confirm the efforts we have consistently invested in research and development (R&D). We will continue to prove our world-class technology and quality competitiveness through ongoing R&D and product improvements reflecting customer needs.”
