About the Kumho Solus TA71

Luxury-Level Comfort, All-Season Confidence

Best forLuxury sedan and passenger car drivers seeking responsive handling, a quiet ride, and reliable all-season traction across dry, wet, and light-snow conditions.

The Kumho Solus TA71 is an all-season passenger tire built for luxury sedan drivers who demand confident handling year-round. Its asymmetrical tread design delivers sharp steering response, strong wet-weather grip, and dependable light-snow capability, all while keeping cabin noise and vibration to a minimum. Backed by a 60,000-mile tread life warranty, it suits drivers who want premium ride quality without compromise.

The TA71's asymmetrical tread pattern features curved lateral grooves that channel water away efficiently, reducing hydroplaning risk and maintaining traction on wet roads. Three-dimensional sipe technology enhances stability during winter driving conditions, while the computer-optimized tread layout and sidewall construction work together to suppress road noise and absorb vibration. The all-season compound handles dry, wet, and light-snow surfaces without swapping tires.

Questions about this tire

What does 235/45R18 98V mean?

235 is the tread width in millimeters, 45 means the sidewall is 45% of that width, and R18 is the 18-inch rim it mounts on. 98 is the load index (1,653 lbs per tire), and V is the speed rating (up to 149 mph).

Is the Kumho Solus TA71 a good fit for a luxury sedan?

Yes. The TA71 was developed with luxury vehicle drivers in mind, prioritizing precise steering feel, a quiet cabin environment, and all-season versatility. It has been a common OE-style fitment on vehicles like the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Cadillac CTS, and Infiniti G37, among others.

How long should the Kumho Solus TA71 last?

Kumho backs the Solus TA71 with a 60,000-mile limited tread life warranty. Achieving that mileage depends on maintaining proper inflation, alignment, and following a regular rotation schedule. Under normal driving conditions with proper upkeep, the tire is designed to deliver long-lasting performance.

Can the Solus TA71 handle snow and winter weather?

The TA71 handles light snow reasonably well, thanks to its all-season compound and three-dimensional sipes that improve winter grip. However, it is not Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified, meaning it is not rated for moderate to severe winter conditions. Drivers in regions with heavy snowfall or persistent ice should consider a dedicated winter tire.

Is the Kumho Solus TA71 a noisy tire on the highway?

No — ride quietness is one of the TA71's design priorities. The tread pattern is computer-optimized to reduce noise-generating frequencies, and the sidewall construction helps absorb road vibrations. Most drivers report a noticeably smooth and quiet experience, which aligns with the comfort expectations of luxury vehicle owners.

Is the Solus TA71 a directional tire, and how should it be rotated?

The Solus TA71 uses an asymmetrical tread pattern, not a directional one, so it does not have a required rotational direction. This means it can be moved freely front-to-rear and side-to-side during rotation, giving you full flexibility to follow standard rotation intervals and maximize even tread wear.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
