So far so good
I'm happy with these tires. Pretty quiet. Seem to handle well. I'd recommend them. I have purchased two extra rear rims and now run the same size tire front and rear. Improves the ride and handling.

Absolute worst tires I've ever bought. Installed 4 in August, barely drove the car. First freeze made all of them shake violently. Removed them from the rims and they were coming apart on the inside of every tire.

Arrived fast, they look good and balanced easily. Quieter than the original Toyo's when they were new. The price was very good for 4 tires.

Just bought them so not sure on the winter traction or tread life.
An all season high performance tire, the Solus KH16 from Kumho is designed for use on sporty coupes and sedans and offers drivers strong year round traction, excellent handling, and a comfortable ride.
Features & Benefits
All-season tread
Black sidewall
Built with variable pitch tread blocks that reduce road noises for a quiet, comfortable ride
Finding a tire that performs in any weather condition is a must for most drivers, and drivers of sporty coupes and sedans are no different. Consider the Solus KH16 from Kumho, which features a multi-siped, four circumferential groove design that quickly evacuates water for better performance on wet roads. A special dual tread compound enhances steering response while also allowing for a longer tread life, and the Solus KH16's variable pitch tread blocks reduce road noises to give drivers (and passengers) a quiet, comfortable ride.
