Comparison: Kumho HA32 Solus 4S vs. Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 vs. Viking WinTech

The Kumho HA32 Solus 4S and
Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 are two all-round tyres made in China. The following is an in-depth comparison of these two models, exploring their strengths and weaknesses as reported in various tests.


As per our rating, the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S scores 73% while the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 is ten percentage points behind at 63%. Although these tyres are both designed for all-round use and are from Kumho and Maxxis respectively, they have distinct strengths and weaknesses.


In the Autobild test, the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S outperformed the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3, ranking 10th and 13th respectively out of 32 tested tyres. Its salient features include excellent snow braking, mileage, price/value, and external noise. The Maxxis tyre shines for its wet circle cornering and low external noise. Note that these rankings represent the tyre's overall performance, and individual attributes may differ significantly.


The Kumho HA32 Solus 4S enjoys plaudits for its stable driving behavior, good traction, short braking distance on snow, high mileage, and overall value for money. However, it is held back by its slightly prolonged wet/dry braking distances and mediocre aquaplaning reserves.


The Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 excels in aquaplaning performance and is known for its affordable price point. On the downside, it suffers from a delayed steering response, understeer behavior in all weather conditions, and limited mileage & economic efficiency.


Summarily, while both tyres are competent in their own right, the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S appears to have a slight edge in overall performance as rated in our tests. It is important to consider each tyre's strengths and weaknesses, along with specific use-case requirements, before making a buying decision.


As of now, neither tyres have been replaced with newer models. Updates will be posted as soon as a new tyre replaces any of these models. Stay tuned for the latest tyre reviews and comparisons to make informed buying decisions.
