Eco Solus KL21
Light Truck & SUV/CUV All-Season
The Kumho Eco Solus KL21 was specifically designed for premium crossovers and sport utility vehicles in the marketplace. Used as Original Equipment by Hyundai and Kia, this tire has been engineered with a focus on luxury, all-season traction and ride comfort with improved rolling resistance for better fuel economy.
Features and Benefits
· Low Rolling Resistance (LRR) technology utilizes high dispersion silica (HDS) that strengthens the molecular structure of the rubber to improve fuel economy up to 5% and provide lower operating cost per mile.
· Eco-friendly design reduces rubber dust particle emission by 10% without sacrificing performance attributes like ride comfort, noise levels, steering stability or all-season traction in wet conditions.
· Anti-abrasion carbon black technology with HDS improves wear resistance and maintains high traction capability in both wet and dry conditions for better gas mileage, performance and comfort – all while reducing its carbon footprint.
· Durable belt construction including two full-width steel belt layers, high-tensile bead wire construction and lower rolling resistance mold profile provides strength, durability, ride comfort and better fuel economy.

| Comments: Can't recommend these tires. They came OEM. 38,000 miles and I am at 4/32 and these tires now scare me in the rain. Snow traction was extremely poor even when they were new. Had to buy snow tires. If all you do is dry highway travel and are ok with replacing them at 40,000 miles then they may work for you.
