1^st

Kumho Majesty X Solus

+The Kumho Majesty X Solus was the overall winner of this test, and it earned the result by being good everywhere rather than exceptional anywhere. It sat among the shortest stoppers on both dry and wet roads, ranked near the top for measured cabin quiet, and gave the most composed subjective handling in the field. At the limit its behavior stayed linear and easy to read, so the driver always knew what the car would do next.

−Lateral grip around the circle was only mid-pack, so the Kumho Majesty X Solus could not match the front-runners for outright cornering speed, and its ride comfort came in below the softer Nexen tires. It is also one of the heavier tires in the group.

2^nd

Hankook Ventus S2 AS

+The Hankook Ventus S2 AS was the braking champion of the test, pulling up shortest on both dry and wet roads. It also shared the best subjective handling rating, with quick response to small steering inputs and a strong sense of support from the tire, and it held high grip around the circle. For an older design it stays very competitive.

−The Hankook Ventus S2 AS was the loudest tire on the objective noise measurement and the heaviest in the group. At the highest test speeds its yaw response built up more sharply, though overall confidence stayed high.

3^rd

Kumho Majesty Solus Edge

+The Kumho Majesty Solus Edge produced the highest cornering grip of any tire in the test, holding the fastest average speed around the circle, and it backed that up with top-four braking on both dry and wet roads. Developed to take on the Hankook Ventus S2 AS, it gets close on the tests that matter most.

−Body movement grew noticeably as the Kumho Majesty Solus Edge approached its cornering limit, which cost it subjective points, and it was among the noisier tires both on the meter and by ear. It also has the shallowest tread of the group.

4^th

Hankook Ventus Air S

+The Hankook Ventus Air S braked with the best of them, ranking second on dry roads and third in the wet, and it was one of the quieter tires on the noise meter. It carries noise-reduction foam and is clearly engineered as a premium product on the performance side.

−Ride comfort was among the weakest in the whole test, which is the one shortcoming a driver feels every day. The Hankook Ventus Air S also generated low grip around the circle, and at the highest test speed it switched from understeer to oversteer and was slow to recover.

5^th

Kumho Solus TA51+

+The Kumho Solus TA51 plus was the value standout of the test, a mid-grade tire that beat several premium rivals for cornering grip and coasted the furthest of anyone, marking it out as the most efficient tire here. It won its own mid-grade group on the strength of that balance.

−The Kumho Solus TA51 plus felt numb to small steering inputs on the straight, leaning on grip rather than finesse to hold its line, and its braking was only mid-pack on both surfaces. Ride comfort sat on the firmer side.

6^th

Nexen N Priz S

+The Nexen N Priz S was the cheapest tire in the test and also the most refined, recording the lowest measured noise and sharing the best subjective comfort and quietness ratings. It has the deepest tread of the group, which points to a longer service life, and it delivers all of that without noise-reduction foam.

−Handling was the clear weakness of the Nexen N Priz S, the lowest-rated in the field: it slid into oversteer from low speeds and became difficult for an ordinary driver to control as the pace rose. Its dry braking was also among the longest.

7^th

Nexen N Fera Supreme

+The Nexen N Fera Supreme was among the quietest and most comfortable tires in the test, ranking near the top for both measured and perceived refinement. As Nexen's flagship comfort tire it delivers on cabin calm.

−The Nexen N Fera Supreme recorded the longest dry stop and the lowest cornering grip of the entire field, with wet braking also near the back. For a top-of-the-range tire, those safety results are hard to overlook.

8^th

Hankook Kinergy ST AS

+The Hankook Kinergy ST AS was the lightest tire in the test, held strong grip around the circle, and was one of the more efficient tires for coasting distance. Those are useful traits for a mid-grade all-season tire.

−Wet braking was among the longest and refinement was poor, the Hankook Kinergy ST AS drawing the lowest subjective noise rating and a firm ride. Under repeated hard cornering its grip faded and it slipped towards oversteer, though the movement was gradual enough to manage.

2 owner reviews Test Results

9^th

Nexen Primus AS T1

+The Nexen Primus AS T1 was light, keenly priced as the second-cheapest tire here, and reasonably comfortable, placing mid-field for ride and noise. On paper it looks like a value option.

−The wet braking of the Nexen Primus AS T1 was the longest of all nine tires, a serious shortfall in an emergency, and its handling was among the weakest, losing the driver's chosen line as speeds climbed.

The full test

The evidence behind the verdict

AutoView bought nine of Korea's 2026 all-season comfort tires and ran them through the same set of tests to answer a single question: is a more expensive tire actually a better one? The field spanned three price grades - mid, mid-high and premium - from the three domestic makers, Kumho, Hankook and Nexen. Every tire was fitted in 245/45 R19 to a BMW 5 Series and judged on price, cabin noise, ride comfort, dry and wet braking, rolling resistance, cornering grip and handling stability.

The overall winner was the Kumho Majesty X Solus. It never topped a single objective test, but it stopped among the shortest on both dry and wet roads, ran near the front for cabin quiet, and gave the most composed, predictable handling of the nine - the balance a premium all-season tire is meant to deliver. The Hankook Ventus S2 AS pushed it hard for the win, taking both braking tests and sharing the best handling score despite being one of the older designs in the group.

Test setup & methodology

The test setting, the conditions recorded and how the results contribute to the score.

Recorded test conditions

Dry Braking: 62.1 → 0.0 mph
Wet Braking: 49.7 → 0.0 mph

Price and performance did not move together. The cheapest tire in the test, the Nexen N Priz S, turned out to be the most comfortable and the quietest of all - and it managed that without the noise-reduction foam fitted to the two dearest tires. The mid-grade Kumho Solus TA51 plus out-cornered and out-coasted several premium rivals, while Nexen's flagship N Fera Supreme was calm and quiet but dropped to the back for braking and grip. From cheapest to dearest the spread came to roughly 328,000 won across a set of four, and this test makes the case that the extra outlay does not automatically buy more safety.

Dry

The Hankook Ventus S2 AS recorded the shortest dry stop, with the Hankook Ventus Air S and the winning Kumho Majesty X Solus close behind; the two Nexen comfort tires, the N Priz S and the N Fera Supreme, needed the most road to pull up. Dry braking is the first line of safety, and the spread from best to worst here was close to the length of a car.

Dry Braking
Position / Tire	Result	Gap to best	Residual speed
1Hankook Ventus S2 AS	127 ft	Best	0 mph
2Hankook Ventus Air S	129 ft	+2 ft	9 mph
3Kumho Majesty X Solus	129 ft	+2 ft	9 mph
4Kumho Majesty Solus Edge	131 ft	+4 ft	14 mph
5Kumho Solus TA51+	134 ft	+7 ft	18 mph
6Nexen Primus AS T1	136 ft	+9 ft	20 mph
7Hankook Kinergy ST AS	138 ft	+11 ft	23 mph
8Nexen N Priz S	142 ft	+15 ft	26 mph
9Nexen N Fera Supreme	143 ft	+16 ft	27 mph

The difference between best and worst was 12.5% (16 ft ≈ 1.1 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Nexen N Fera Supreme would still be travelling at 27 mph when the Hankook Ventus S2 AS had stopped.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

Cornering grip was measured as the highest average speed each tire could sustain around a fixed 40-meter circle. Here the order flipped: the mid-high Kumho Majesty Solus Edge and the mid-grade Kumho Solus TA51 plus held the highest speeds, beating every premium tire, while the flagship N Fera Supreme had the lowest limit of all.

Dry Circle Speed
Position / Tire	Result	Gap to best
1Kumho Majesty Solus Edge	45.9 mph	Best
2Kumho Solus TA51+	45.7 mph	-0.2 mph
3Hankook Ventus S2 AS	45.3 mph	-0.6 mph
4Hankook Kinergy ST AS	45.2 mph	-0.7 mph
5Nexen N Priz S	44.3 mph	-1.6 mph
6Kumho Majesty X Solus	44.2 mph	-1.7 mph
7Nexen Primus AS T1	44.2 mph	-1.7 mph
8Hankook Ventus Air S	43.8 mph	-2.1 mph
9Nexen N Fera Supreme	42.7 mph	-3.2 mph

The difference between best and worst was 6.9% (3.2 mph).

On the subjective handling assessment - steering response, limit behavior and how progressively each tire lets go - the Kumho Majesty X Solus and Hankook Ventus S2 AS shared top marks for being the easiest to place and the most predictable near the limit. The Nexen N Priz S sat last, sliding into oversteer at surprisingly low speeds.

Subj. Dry Handling

8Nexen Primus AS T1	6 Points	-1.25 Points
9Nexen N Priz S	5.75 Points	-1.50 Points

The difference between best and worst was 20.7% (1.5 Points).

Wet

The Hankook Ventus S2 AS again stopped shortest in the wet, shadowed by the Kumho Majesty X Solus and Hankook Ventus Air S. The Nexen Primus AS T1 needed the most distance by a clear margin - the kind of gap that, in a real wet-road emergency, decides whether the car stops in time.

Wet Braking

1Hankook Ventus S2 AS	106 ft	Best	0 mph
2Kumho Majesty X Solus	107 ft	+1 ft	5 mph

8Hankook Kinergy ST AS	122 ft	+16 ft	29 mph
9Nexen Primus AS T1	126 ft	+20 ft	32 mph

The difference between best and worst was 18.6% (20 ft ≈ 1.3 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Nexen Primus AS T1 would still be travelling at 32 mph when the Hankook Ventus S2 AS had stopped.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

Comfort

Cabin noise was measured at a steady 37 mph. The cheapest tire, the Nexen N Priz S, was quietest, with the winning Kumho Majesty X Solus next; the braking champion Hankook Ventus S2 AS was the loudest on the meter. Notably, the two tires carrying noise-reduction foam did not lead this ranking.

9Hankook Ventus S2 AS	53.05 dB	+2.45 dB

The difference between best and worst was 4.8% (2.45 dB).

Drivers also rated ride comfort and perceived noise by feel. The two Nexen comfort tires, the N Priz S and N Fera Supreme, led both, while the Hankook Ventus Air S drew one of the firmest, least comfortable rides in the group despite its premium billing.

Results

Across the nine, the best tire was not the quietest, the comfiest or the grippiest - it was the one that balanced stopping power, refinement and predictable limit behavior with no weak spot. Rolling resistance (measured as coasting distance) and price are not charted here, but both fed AutoView's scoring, and the mid-grade Kumho Solus TA51 plus was the efficiency leader. The full test, scoring guide and video are published by AutoView.

The Kumho Majesty X Solus is the overall test winner and the most complete tire of the nine. It posts no top-of-class headline result, but it carries no real weakness either, and its predictability at the limit is what sets it apart as a premium all-season tire.
