Comparison: Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 vs. Kumho HA32 Solus 4S

Let's take a closer look at two tyres in this review: the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 and the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S. Both tyres are allround types, with the Pirelli tyre manufactured in Romania and the Kumho tyre produced in China.

The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 is an allrounder with secure driving behaviour both on wet and dry roads. Its best features according to the Autobild test are aquaplaning - longitudal and exterior noise. It received a 14th place out of 32 in the test and received a rating score of 69%. Its strengths are its dynamic and safe performance on both wet and dry roads, as well as a low exterior noise level. However, it has a slightly increased rolling resistance and its tread life is rated as average.

On the other hand, we have the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S which scored better overall in tests than the Pirelli tyre. Autobild rated the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S's best features as external noise and its value for money, with the tyre holding the 11th place in the test. The tyre's rating score was 73%. This tyre demonstrates good traction on snow and a safe performance on both wet and dry roads. Its quiet noise level and competitive price are positives. However, the tyre could improve on aquaplaning reserves, with slightly extended braking distances on wet and dry roads also being a point of concern.

In summary, choosing between the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 and the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S will depend on individual driver needs. If noise level and aquaplaning safety are your biggest concerns, the Pirelli tyre might be the best fit. If performance on snow and value for money are your priorities, the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S may be better suited to your needs. Both tyres need to improve on rolling resistance.
