Kormoran SUV Stud
Tire specifications
DescriptionDescription Kormoran SUV Stud
The Kormoran SUV Stud winter tire was initially designed for SUVs and crossovers, i.e. without using any passenger car model as a "base". The result of this approach was very good operating properties for the given price range. The tire is characterized by excellent traction properties on winter surfaces, stability on asphalt, and fuel efficiency.
V-shaped tread pattern
The tire's tread is designed in a traditional style for such products. Its elements form a V-shaped pattern, which provides increased directional stability and longitudinal traction properties on slippery surfaces. These properties are further enhanced by the increased size of the tread blocks in the central part and the rigid bridges between them.
The shoulder blocks, on the other hand, are arranged at almost a right angle. This significantly improves the tire's ability to drive through deep snow and reduces the braking distance on slippery surfaces.
Several types of lamellas
The tire's tread features several types of lamellas. The central part has straight cuts. Located at a right angle or a slight angle to the direction of movement, they increase the effectiveness of the tread during longitudinal accelerations. On wet asphalt, these elements further improve resistance to aquaplaning, directing water from the contact patch into the drainage grooves.
In the shoulder areas, the lamellas have a wavy shape. This limits the transverse mobility of the blocks. This significantly improves stability during maneuvering. Along the edges of the shoulder blocks, there are longitudinal lamellas. These elements further increase the tire's traction in turns.
Key features of Kormoran SUV Stud
- good traction properties on any winter surface thanks to the optimized V-shaped tread pattern;
- several types of lamellas and studs provide reliable traction on slippery roads covered with snow and ice;
- a reinforced carcass with an additional steel cord gives the tire reliability on poor roads;
- wide drainage grooves effectively prevent aquaplaning and slushplaning.

In August 2021, I purchased these tires. In October, they were installed on my vehicle. I ran them in as recommended, 1000 km +/- at a gentle speed of 80/90 km/h. After that, I had them rebalanced. The rebalancing did not help, and the vibrations on the steering wheel and body did not disappear. A third balancing was done at the Mosaavtoshina store, and it did not help either. A claim letter was written about the inadequate quality of the product to the store on 21.12.2021. As of the time of writing this review on 07.02.2022, no one from the store has contacted me. Two more balancings were done, and the vibrations almost disappeared, but remained in the speed range of 105-110 km/h. I don't know if I was just unlucky with the set of tires or if the Cormoran is generally poorly suited for minivans. And in conclusion, I extend greetings to the claims department of the Mosaavtoshina store, which cannot or does not want to contact me. Order number: 1607203

This winter in Msk is non-existent, so these studded tires are mostly running on dry asphalt, hence my feedback. I haven't been on studs for a long time since I've been driving a city car with a four-wheel drive and snow tires, so maybe that's why the initial whine of the studs was slightly annoying. However, since my bus has a rear-wheel drive, I had to put studs on. The first 400-500 km, there was a rumble and

I interviewed a fellow who knows his stuff (Vils, hello!). He said, "Take the Serbs, or the Kormoran or the Tiger, it's all the same".
I took them on the principle of "not so expensive and with studs".
In general, what I have to say is: in the city (I drive in Moscow) they suit me more than well.
They don't make much noise on asphalt. On uncleared roads and courtyards, they grip perfectly. They clean our streets on the principle of "it snowed during the day - we'll clean it up at night", so in the event of sudden snowfall, I feel confident, the car's behavior is predictable, the tires hold as they should.
Start on snowy mush is confident. The car doesn't fishtail, and in general, it confidently enters a turn even on snow-covered and rolled asphalt. When braking sharply, it's good to have a working ABS)
On the highway, the main thing is not to turn off your head and to check the grip from time to time. After all, no one has canceled complex weather conditions.
There was an unpleasant moment when the road leading down a steep hill turned out to be heavily covered with freshly fallen snow. That's where I messed up - I drove on the snow like on a sled, but that was my mistake, the slope was steep, and the speed was higher than necessary. I braked on the oncoming lane, dodging a standing car. But you need to understand that studs are not chains and don't perform miracles.
Would I take them again? Definitely.
