Which is better in rain, the Nexen N'Priz AH5 or the Kumho Solus TA11?

The Kumho Solus TA11 has a tread pattern built around wet traction and a stronger reputation for wet braking. The Nexen relies on four wide grooves for drainage, which helps, but its weak rating makes it the riskier choice in rain.

Which tire lasts longer?

The Kumho Solus TA11 carries a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty. The Nexen N'Priz AH5 listing states no treadwear warranty, so the Kumho is the safer bet for longevity.

Is the Kumho worth about $3 more than the Nexen?

Yes for most drivers. At $79.99 at eBay as of November 4, 2026 versus $77.06 at Walmart, the Kumho costs about 4% more and adds a long treadwear warranty and better wet-traction design.

Do both tires fit the same vehicle?

Both are listed as 235/65R18, which fits many mid-size SUVs and crossovers. Confirm the load index and speed rating on your door placard before ordering, and check the Nexen listing carefully because its spec field says 15″.

Which is quieter on the highway?

Nexen markets the N'Priz AH5 as a quiet, comfortable ride, and Kumho markets the Solus TA11 as exceptionally comfortable. Neither has independent noise testing here, so treat the claims as close.

Which has more buying options?

Kumho, slightly: 6 stores price the Solus TA11 new versus 5 for the Nexen as of November 4, 2026. More stores makes it easier to compare prices and find stock.

Nexen N'Priz AH5 All-Season Tire 235/65R18 vs Kumho Solus TA11 235/65R18

Both are budget all-season tires in the same 235/65R18 size, and the price gap is small: $77.06 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026 for the Nexen N'Priz AH5 versus $79.99 at eBay as of November 4, 2026 for the Kumho Solus TA11. The Kumho is the safer pick for most shoppers because it is a widely used, well-documented tire with a long treadwear warranty and strong wet-braking reputation. The Nexen's listing data is thin and its 1.6 out of 5 rating from 7 ratings is a warning sign, so buy it only if the $2.93 savings matter and you can confirm the exact size and load rating at checkout.

Today the Nexen N'Priz AH5 All-Season Tire 235/65R18 costs $13.00 less at its best price.
