According to our rankings, the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S received a rating of 73% due to its excellent noise levels and great performance in snow braking and mileage. In terms of price/value, it also scores high. However, tire tests have shown it to have mediocre aquaplaning reserves and slightly extended wet/dry braking distances. Its rolling resistance is also higher than ideal.
On the other hand, the Firestone Multiseason 2 scored slightly lower with a rating of 67%. It has proven to offer stable driving behaviour on snow and wet tracks, and boasts a pleasantly low rolling resistance. Drawbacks include average aquaplaning qualities, understeering snow, and dry handling as well as a rather limited mileage.
In a test conducted by Autobild, out of 32 tyres, the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S secured the 10th spot while the Firestone Multiseason 2 climbed to the sixth position. Firestone's strong points are its rolling resistance and price/value ratio, along with the solid snow traction. In comparison, Kumho's additional strengths lie in its exterior noise and price/value.
In conclusion, based on mutual test positions, the Firestone Multiseason 2 performed relatively better than the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S. Both tyres exhibit their own admirable qualities along with some weaknesses. This makes the final decision depend largely on the specific requirements of the user.
