The two tyres we are comparing here are Kumho HA32 Solus 4S and Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2. Produced by Kumho and Pirelli respectively, both tyres aim to cater to all-round conditions.
The Kumho HA32 Solus 4S, made in China, is rated at 73% by us. In the Autobild 2023 test, it ranked 11 out of 32 tyres. The exterior noise, price/value ratio, and mileage are its strong suits. However, it could be better in terms of aquaplaning reserves, wet and dry braking distances, and rolling resistance according to the test summary.
On the other hand, we have the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2, made in Romania. It earned a slightly lower rating from us at 69%. Ranking 14 out of 32 tyres in the Autobild 2023 test, its strengths lie in longitudinal aquaplaning, exterior noise, and all-round dynamic and safe handling on wet and dry surfaces. Although it has superior aquaplaning safety reserves and a quiet exterior noise, it falls short in rolling resistance and its mileage is average.
Comparing the two, Kumho HA32 Solus 4S shines in exterior noise, mileage, and price-value ratio. It offers good snow traction and secure handling on wet and dry conditions. However, it may struggle in situations requiring high aquaplaning reserves and can marginally prolong wet/dry braking distances.
While Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 performs exceptionally well in longitudinal aquaplaning, providing the best safety reserves. It's also equipped with a very low exterior noise. However, it experiences increased rolling resistance and an average mileage capacity.
Both tyres perform well in their respective areas and have their strengths and weaknesses. So, depending upon the priority of features and the specific use case, either of these could serve as a suitable choice. Remember, choosing the right tyre is essential not just for performance but also for safety.
