In the same Autobild test as the Goodyear tyre, the Solus 4S landed in the 10th position. It stood out for its exterior noise, snow braking, mileage, and price value proposition. Although, the tyre slightly lags on aquaplaning.
The Solus 4S shows it strengths in snow traction, secure handling on both wet and dry surfaces, low rolling noise while providing value for money. Drawbacks include moderate aquaplaning reserves, slightly longer wet and dry braking distances, and high rolling resistance.
