Kumho Solus TA31 All‑Season Touring Tire
Meet the Kumho Solus TA31, a passenger touring tire built for smooth, quiet miles and dependable all-season grip. Its balanced compound, symmetric tread, and full-depth sipes work together to deliver stable braking and confident wet traction on daily commutes and long trips. The TA31 focuses on value, pairing comfort and longevity with predictable road manners. Choose the correct size and load and speed ratings for your vehicle, then enjoy a composed ride that feels secure as the weather changes.
Key Features & Benefits
The Solus TA31 is tuned for performance you notice every day. A symmetric tread helps it wear evenly and keeps cabin noise low, while wide circumferential grooves and lateral notches clear water to support wet braking. Full-depth siping preserves bite as the tread wears, so traction stays consistent over time. Sturdy shoulders aid steering response and cornering stability, and the value-focused construction targets long tread life without adding harshness.
Performance in Dry, Wet, and Light Snow
On dry pavement, the TA31 feels predictable and composed thanks to a stable center rib and reinforced shoulders. In the rain, four main grooves and angled channels move water away from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning and maintain braking confidence. The all-season compound and dense siping provide usable traction in light snow and cold, but they are not a substitute for dedicated winter tires. If you face frequent snow, ice, or deep slush, switch to winter tires when temperatures stay low.
Tread Design & Technology
The Solus TA31 uses a symmetric, non-directional pattern that simplifies rotation and helps extend tread life. Multiple pitch variations work to reduce airborne tread noise for a quieter cabin. Wide circumferential grooves pair with angled notches to channel water away and enhance wet grip. Full-depth sipes add biting edges throughout the tire's life, while a balanced compound stays pliable across a broad temperature range for a calm ride and even wear.
Sizes, Fitment & Popular Options
The Solus TA31 comes in common passenger car sizes with multiple speed and load ratings. Popular options include 205/55R16 (91H) and 215/55R17 (94V), often found on compact and midsize sedans. Always confirm the correct size, load index, and speed rating on your driver door placard or in your owner's manual. Because the pattern is symmetric and non-directional, standard front to rear or cross rotations are straightforward and help promote even wear. If you are unsure which size or rating is right for your car, our fitment tools and product specialists can help.
Rotation & Maintenance Tips
Rotate your Solus TA31 tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or as your vehicle maker recommends, to even out wear. Set pressures to the values on the door-jamb label, not the max listed on the sidewall, and check them cold each month. Inspect tread depth, watch for irregular wear, and keep alignment in spec to preserve ride quality and safety. Full-depth siping helps maintain traction as the tire ages, but regular rotations and proper inflation are essential for the best mileage.
Pricing, Warranty & Value
The Kumho Solus TA31 delivers touring comfort and everyday reliability at a budget-friendly price. It is backed by a limited treadwear warranty up to 60,000 miles, with coverage that can vary by size and speed rating. Road hazard and trial programs are retailer specific, so review details at checkout and register your tires to simplify any claim. Keep rotation and alignment records to maintain eligibility, and enjoy a quiet ride, solid wet traction, and dependable mileage without overspending.
Reviews & What Drivers Say
Owners often highlight a smooth, quiet ride and confident wet-road manners in daily use. Many report even wear and stable highway handling that inspires confidence. Traction in light snow is serviceable for an all-season, but drivers in snowy regions still prefer dedicated winter tires. Overall, the Solus TA31 earns praise as a comfortable, value-minded touring choice for commuting and family trips.
Solus TA31 vs. Other Solus Options
Within the Solus lineup, the TA31 focuses on comfort, quietness, and value for mainstream passenger cars. Other Solus models, including TA51 variants, may offer updated compounds, different tread patterns, or broader size coverage. If you drive mostly in mild weather and want a smooth, budget-friendly touring tire, the TA31 is a strong fit. If you need greater winter capability or specific speed and load options, compare specs and warranties across Solus models to match your needs.
