About Kumho Solus KL21 265/70R18 114T

Wet-Road Performance

The Solus KL21 uses an all-season highway tread pattern designed to maintain stable road contact in wet conditions. Its circumferential grooves help move water away from the contact area, supporting predictable traction during everyday driving.

Wet Braking

The tread compound and groove arrangement are designed to provide dependable braking performance on wet pavement. The exact specification carries an A UTQG traction rating, indicating strong wet-pavement traction under the standardized UTQG testing system.

Dry-Road Handling

The Solus KL21 is designed around stable highway touring performance rather than aggressive sports handling. Its tread construction provides predictable steering response and stable cornering for SUVs and crossover vehicles during normal road use.

Ride Comfort and Noise

Comfort is a major focus of the Solus KL21. The highway-oriented tread and balanced construction are designed to provide a smooth, controlled ride for longer journeys and everyday SUV driving.

Rolling Resistance

The Solus KL21 was developed as an eco-oriented touring tyre with emphasis on reducing rolling resistance and improving fuel economy. The exact 265/70R18 specification does not have a verified EU fuel-efficiency label available in the researched manufacturer data, so no specific EU fuel-efficiency grade is assigned here.

All-Season Road Use

The Solus KL21 is an all-season highway touring tyre intended for year-round everyday road use, including light snow conditions. However, the exact specification should not be treated as a substitute for a dedicated severe-winter tyre where substantial snow and ice performance is required.

Load Capacity

The 114 load index corresponds to a maximum load of 1,180 kg per tyre under the specified operating conditions. This is a Standard Load specification and should only be installed where the vehicle manufacturer approves the 265/70R18 114T size and service description.

T Speed Rating

The T speed symbol indicates a maximum rated speed of 190 km/h. Actual driving speed should always remain within the vehicle manufacturer's specified limits and applicable road regulations.

Vehicle Compatibility

The 265/70R18 114T Solus KL21 is intended for SUVs, crossovers, and selected light-duty applications requiring this size and service description. Vehicle compatibility should always be confirmed against the manufacturer's approved tyre size, load index, speed rating, and wheel specifications before fitting.
