Kormoran Ultra High Performance
Tire specifications
DescriptionDescription Kormoran Ultra High Performance
The Kormoran Ultra High Performance summer tire is designed for the most powerful versions of passenger cars. Developed by specialists from the Michelin company, which includes this Polish brand. The model replaced the not very popular Gamma b2. The novelty differs in a completely redesigned tread pattern and a number of internal changes. In addition, it is offered in a wider range of sizes, including options for wheels with a rim diameter of 19 inches.
High efficiency on wet surfaces
The tire's tread is equipped with an extremely efficient drainage system. It is based on four longitudinal grooves, two of which, located in the center, are distinguished by a significant width. The high performance of similar elements adjacent to the shoulder zones is ensured by the adjacent transverse grooves. They also have a large width, and, in addition, are made in an original curved shape. Such a design provides very fast water removal from the contact patch, which minimizes the risk of aquaplaning at almost any speed.
Continuous longitudinal rib in the center
Massive sizes also distinguish the longitudinal rib that runs exactly along the center of the tread. This element is made solid, which guarantees high resistance to deformation. At high speeds, this feature manifests itself in the form of excellent directional stability and high handling responsiveness.
Key features of Kormoran Ultra High Performance
- Asymmetric tread provides excellent handling and traction at high speeds;
- Very wide longitudinal grooves in the center minimize the risk of aquaplaning;
- Wide shoulder blocks on the outside provide traction during maneuvering, and on the inside - efficiency during acceleration and braking.

The tires are great!!! Don't listen to anyone, they're very well made, high quality, on a par with Michelin or Continental. The first thing that struck me was the extremely sticky rubber compound and its softness, something you don't always find even on slicks. They balanced out perfectly, to 0. The first impressions of the rubber, pure enthusiasm!!! Quiet and soft, and this is with a 50mm profile. As for traction with the road, on dry asphalt

I chose these tires based on reviews. They were highly praised, so I bought them and installed them. Initially, everything seemed fine, but the ride was accompanied by a thud. I thought it might be a problem with the suspension, so I took the car to several shops to check. The suspension was fine. During a seasonal tire change, the mechanic showed me how the "tire's horizon" (in layman's terms, the tire was square) would oscillate,

I bought them in 215/50R17. For the money, they're very good, having chosen between Nexen N6000, Viatta Strada and Kormoran, as they were cheaper than the competition + made in Serbia, which at least sounds more reliable than made in Russia. They hold the road very well on dry and wet asphalt. The tires are quite quiet, even quieter than Bridgestone Potenza. I've identified just one drawback - a rather thin sidewall

- Low price
Very low rolling resistance
- Very long braking distance and poor handling on wet and dry pavement
- On a wet surface, the grip is so weak that the rear tires quickly lose traction, and the vehicle constantly drifts with all four wheels, and on a dry surface, the grip is also very low, and the tires start to squeal under load.
Verdict: Not recommended
