This comparison gives an in-depth look into the performance of two all-round tyres - the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S
and the Viking Fourtech. Manufactured by Kumho and Viking respectively, both tyres have unique strengths and weaknesses.
Kumho HA32 Solus 4S
The Kumho HA32 Solus 4S is a solid all-round tyre. Our rating pegs this model at 73% - a testament to its balanced performance. The tyre delivers good mileage and is a great value for the price. It is significantly quiet too, with low exterior noise being one of its top features.
However, in Autobild's tests, the tyre achieved a tenth position out of 32. This performance showcases the tyre's strong adaptation to various weather conditions. The model's short braking distances on snow and dynamic wet and dry handling were particularly notable. Its downside lies in its lower mileage and high rolling resistance, which affected its cost-performance balance negatively.
Viking Fourtech
The Viking Fourtech unfortunately did not fare as well, with an overall rating of 32%. The tyre performed better in areas of aquaplaning and rolling resistance, but ranks at a lower 21st position in Autobild's tests out of 32 tyres.
Despite its lower position, the tyre excels in its resistance to aquaplaning, in both straight and cross situations. Its low rolling resistance also makes it a more fuel-efficient option. However, these strengths are overshadowed by its overall performance in comparison to other all-round tyres.
Verdict
Considering performances in the tests, the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S outperforms the Viking Fourtech. Despite its minor weaknesses, the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S provides impressive overall features and value.
Both models appear not to have a succeeding model that has replaced them as of yet, ensuring their ongoing relevance in the market. It is important to consider an individual car's requirements and usage conditions when choosing between these two options.
