Passenger Car All Season Premium Touring Tyres Tyre Review Highlights
Good tire for dry and wet handling and braking. Terrible braking and handling on ice. Also extreme premature tire wear. The treadwear warranty is for 105000km but they are already worn out to 2mm after 40000km
No other tyre compares with this one on wet, even on wet dirty roads, great handling even in a huge storm and heavy rain.

I took a chance on some Kumho Solas 4S HA32 Plus tyres for here in England this year, as a mid-budget all season tyre with the 3 peaks symbol.
Don't confuse the Plus model with the previous HA32 model, these are a much improved design.
With all the snow, frost, and sub 5°c weather in England this 2024 to 2025 winter, my Kumhos been fantastic so far, irrespective of price.
As I don't have £600 to drop on tyres at a moments notice, I chose the Kumhos 4S HA32 Plus.
I had to get rubber fitted quickly, as I bought a car with four mismatched makes. I think there were two Runway branded on opposite corners of different types. Not ideal.
Road noise is acceptable, and a much lower pitch than the mismatched set was, making them similarly loud but masses less intrusive.
Cold and wet grip has been the biggest improvement, with junction traction being faultless despite all the oil and diesel rainbow soaked tarmac.
Fuel economy has dropped by perhaps 5%, but the much more comfortable, quiet, assured, and smooth performance of the Kumhos more than making up for that.
Dry weather braking and steering is reasonable, but these aren't high performance summer tyres, so feedback is muted but still present.
Mildly slippery mud and wet grass poses no issues for these tyres, where before I would have to be very careful where to park.
Aquaplaning has been genuinely eradicated for me. The steering never goes light, nor does the back end twitch in a deluge.
I had tracking, balancing, alignment, and new valve stems done when I had the Kumhos rubber fitted, and wear has been equal and minimal over the last 2500 miles.
These aren't the perfect tyres, but they offer everything a family car should need with good braking, acceleration, cornering, and performance in bad conditions.
I fitted 4 of these tyres to replace the Goodyear Wrangler tyres on my 2.2 Discovery Sport as the Wrangler’s are no longer available. Despite the good reviews I find the Vector 4 Season gen 3 to be softer and the steering less positive, generating more understeer in cornering. They are I think also a little noisier on the motorway. I cannot comment on dry or wet grip as I ever had an issue with the wrangler tyres. The other noticeable difference is that Vector 4-Season tyres do not have a rim protector band built in making it easier to kerb your wheels. On balance I think the Wrangler All Weather tyres were superior.
Very good tire in all conditions.
For normal driving style its perfect but for very sporty driving its ok.

I bought these tires hoping they would be quieter than the OEM Hankook's. They do seem to be a little quieter and way smoother. The Accord is just a loud car at highway speeds. I'm not a spirited driver so the tires perform fine for me. We rarely get snow so I can't comment on snow handling. At 6500 miles I can't see any wear. I did lose 4 MPG with the Pirellis. I think for the price they are very good tires.
I normally do not write reviews but I had to for this time.
I bought these tires regarding positive reviews but here is a huge negative about these tires that nobody mentions. The more you speed up, the more these tires pulls to one side(left or right). If you drive slowly like 50 km/h there is no issue; but if you go above 100 km/h these tires pulls terribly to one side. It is even worse when you slightly change wheel angle while going at high speeds because the tires grips the road and does not want to release grip after a certain delay. Even when you are going straight the car pulls to one side and you always need to intervene and adjust the wheel to stay in the lane.
My car is brand new so no rod or any wheel balancing issues exist. I checked air pressure and everything by the way for weeks repeatedly. I rebalanced tires twice to be sure, swapped front back etc. At last I switched to the factory installed summer tires just to be sure and the car steered perfectly fine. I came to a conclusion that is because of the strange design of v shape of the tires like low quality v shaped snow tires that I experienced this side pulling issue almost 20 years ago.
I have not tested in snow but in dry and wet, the handling is inconsistent as these tires have a delay when you maneuver; so at first it slightly resist you(and sometimes slide a bit if road is wet) and then grips very well. When you maneuver again, the tires does not want to release grip as they grip well, you get a slight delay and resistance against your move of steering wheel.
These tires have a grip delay for every slight adjustment you make to the steering wheel at high speeds. This is terrible for winding roads while going 100 km/h and above in traffic.
This is a very tiring driving experience for long commutes, steering is somewhat unpredictable and does not give confidence at all for a brand like Continental. I had great experience before Continental Premium Contact summer tires before. In these days even budget winter tires does not pull to the sides.
Dry and wet braking is fine like one of the reviewers commented like linear not immediate, and yes they feel comfy. And yes they grip well but after a delay as I tried to explain.
For high torque wheel spin they are far better than most summer tires, especially in wet. As I mentioned after a short delay they grip very well so you get a minimal slight spin or not at all.
Tire dealers told me not to buy all seasons tires but I did not listen to them because of the positive reviews and comments. Now I extremely regret my decision and I am surprised that nobody mentioned these problems in comments. Someone mentioned "a little vagueness around the centre position of the steering wheel" but that review did not exist at that time. This is hard to explain, but in short you can not center your wheel and go straight with these tires as you speed up; or when you center your wheel the car still pulls to one side. You always need to adjust your wheel to go straight or you need to hold your wheel very tight to prevent these tires to pull to the sides.
If you drive slow at 50-60 km/h in city you can buy these but above that speeds I do not recommend these tires. For this high price, these tires are terrible value.
I hope this review helps...
Purchased as the car already had them fitted all round. Replaced the rears in October and on legal limit by end of January. Approximately 200 miles of responsible driving. Rubbish tyres will now replace all four!
Up to now these tyres are excellent overall.
The only bad thing noticed is where some parts of the road are dirty - muddy. Two - three times now grip was almost lost, not dangerously, but almost dangerous.
Compared to the previous Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons Gen 2, they are a small step back. Wet grip and wet grip are where the weaknesses are noticeable.
The snow grip is also lower but constant and predictable so just fine for normal driving. Aquaplaning resistance is high, even with snow slush on motorway they're secure and safe. In term of noise they are comparable to winter tyres. Mainly used on the highway, wear is comparable to that of the Goodyear. All in all a good tire, cheaper than Goodyear and therefore with a little lower performances.

The tires are supremely competent on paper and in a dry, analytical manner it ticks the boxes for a good grippy compromise from cold to hot weather. Yet in practice I find these tires really awful. They bring out the worst handling traits on my car (2012 Toyota Yaris) that I never experienced with three other different types of tires I had on the very same car (both summer and winter tires).
My main problem with the Kinergy 4S2 tires is that there is too much movement in them. Torsional flex is generous and lateral movement is extreme. As a result the car is really sensitive to tramlining and following ruts in the road. The car is extremely nervous on the motorway with side wind and gusts. I am sensitive to motion sickness, but I never imagined I would become motion sick behind the wheel going in a straight line. When you demand the sideways grip from the tire (sporty cornering, swerve, evade obstacles) there is so much flex that it will feel like the rear wants to step out. You may get used to it (I have) but it does not inspire confidence.
I have tried if tire pressure has any positive effect on the tires' stiffness, but the effect is rather limited. The standard 2.3 bar for the car was increased to 2.7 bar without a major improvement in responsiveness / feedback. Unfortunately any higher pressures seriously compromises comfort over bumps, which would take away one of the very few good traits of this tire.
Fuel mileage is another factor that has disappointed me: I have a 4.5% increase in fuel consumption compared to my previous WINTER tires (the comparison includes a compensation for differences in the tire radius between the tires and consumption monitoring over at least 10 tank stops in the same season with the same driver and driving style). With the lifespan of my previous tires (60,000km) I can expect to pay for an additional 137 liters of fuel. With current fuel prices that's almost enough to fund a full second set of tires. Enough reason for me to take my losses and start looking for a new set of tires that I do like.
Early days, but so far really great all round, Wet grip is good with almost zero wheelspin compared to the Pirelli it came with, recent snow and icy lanes no problem, motorway and dual cariageway smooth and quiet
