Comparison: Dunlop Sport All Season vs. Kumho HA32 Solus 4S vs. Dunlop All Season 2 vs. GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 vs. Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2

Our comparison today examines two well-rated all-round tyres: the Dunlop Sport All Season and the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S. Manufactured by Dunlop and Kumho respectively, these tyres were put through rigorous testing by various sources, including Autobild.

The Dunlop Sport All Season stands out for its comfort, wet circle cornering abilities, and dry handling performance. However, its snow handling abilities are somewhat lacking, earning it a 6th place position out of a total of 32 tyres in the Autobild test. Made in France, our tests had a rating of 72% for this model.

The Kumho HA32 Solus 4S noted for its low exterior noise, effective snow braking, and good value for money, took the 11th position in the same Autobild test. Our tests gave this tyre, which is made in China, a slightly higher rating of 73%.

When it comes to Autobild's test summaries, Dunlop Sport All Season receives commendation for its balanced handling on wet and dry tracks, low rolling resistance, and outstanding comfort. Nonetheless, the tyre underperforms during snow handling, shows moderate aquaplaning properties, and has slightly prolonged dry braking distances.

On the other hand, the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S is praised for its good snow traction, safe wet and dry handling, and quiet rolling noise. On the flip side, it falls short when it comes to aquaplaning reserves, slightly longer wet/dry braking distances and higher rolling resistance.

Clearly, each tyre shines in different areas; the Dunlop Sport All Season stands out for comfort and handling, while the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S best serves those seeking reduced noise and snow braking. Therefore, the decision between these two depends largely on specific needs and driving conditions. Nonetheless, given our test ratings, the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S edges out the Dunlop Sport All Season slightly.

Neither of these models have been replaced by a newer version, so rest assured that you are looking at current and highly rated all-round tyre options.
