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.

The Kumho Solus KH16 tires are a vast improvement over the Continental Pro Comps that I previously used. Wet and dry handling is exceptional. Tire wear so far is even. They look great on my 2016 Can-Am Spyder RT-S!

The Kumho Solus KH16 tires are exceptional. These are my second set. The first ones were long lasting and handled well. My experience with SimpleTire has been excellent, so I find no reason to shop for a different tire or with a different place to buy them.

These are used on the rear of our 2013 Smart car. I have found these last longer than any of the other brands.
They work very well also with our Wisconsin winters. I gave only four stars on tread life as we can not rotate front and rears on the Smart but they last longer than other brands that cost much more. KH16's are my "go to" tire for our Smart car!

very good ! service and transaction .We recommend for all you tire purchases
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.
