Today we are comparing two all-round tyres, the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 and the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S. Both tyres are manufactured in China and they are rated 53% and 67% respectively on our website.
Starting with the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3, reviews from Autobild have placed this tyre at 13th position out of 32 in the test. It was praised particularly for its wet circle cornering and exterior noise. However, its weaknesses were found to be a delayed steering response, understeering in all weather conditions, and limited mileage and economy.
In contrast, the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S ranked higher, securing 10th position in the same test. The tyre was found to be an excellent performer in snow braking, mileage, and price-to-value ratio. Despite this, the tyre was marked down for slightly extended dry and wet braking distances and moderate aquaplaning resilience.
In summary, based on the Autobild 2020 and 2022 reviews, the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 offers good aquatic qualities at a reasonable cost. Nonetheless, it lacks in steering responsiveness, understeering behavior in all weather conditions, and limited mileage. The Kumho HA32 Solus 4S, on the other hand, provides stable handling, good traction, and short braking distances on snow conditions. The downside is that it exhibits slightly extended dry and wet braking distances and moderate aquaplaning resilience.
In conclusion, the overall performance of the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S seems to out-perform the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3, with a military test position and a higher rating on our site. However, individual preferences and driving conditions will also determine which tyre is the best fit. As always, we recommend that you consider the complete details of each tyre when deciding on your next purchase.
