Kumho Solus KL21 Questions & Answers

I drove on Kumho for 11 years & found they were the better tyre for my car a Kia Sportage 2011, I replaced first set at 80,000 klm, replaced them with Kumho Crugen Premium SUV KL33, the Kia was front wheel drive only, but I was very happy with the tyres throughout. Hope this helps. Regards Dennis Roberts

As long as you don't take if off road and stick to normal roads it will be a good tire for Subie.

I have had the Kumho KL21's for 20,000 kms so far and I have found them to be an excellent road tyre and well suited to my 2010 Forester. The tread pattern isn't aggressive enough for off road use, but that wasn't a major concern to me. However, I recently irreparably damaged one of the tyres (a spike through the tread shoulder) and have found it pretty much impossible to replace in 215/65 x 16 size. No-one seems to stock that size in KL21's anymore. For that reason alone, I will look for something more readily available for my next set of tyres.

We have a Mitsubishi Outlander and our experience of these tyres was great!!. I even repaired a few small punctures and they held up well until we could get them replaced. They have an awesome grip on the road compared to regular highway tyres and on our car they were very quiet. They are an all-terrain type tyre so you should find them good in most conditions. Ours were the 225/65 R18.

Thank you, yes looking at the 225/65 R17, tbc

I can't see why not. As per my review, I found them to handle well in all paved road conditions (never managed to get them to aquaplane...) as well as the occasional gravel road. They also lasted quite well (70,000 K+). I'm 25,000 K in to the second set and am just as happy as the first set.
