Tyre reviews Kormoran Summer SUV. Page 3 740

Kormoran Summer SUV 215/65 R16 102H XL
I bought this tyre after using the Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport that came with my X-Trail.
I was attracted by the price, I wanted to buy something cheap and angry.
First I found the Tigar Summer SUV model of the same size.
I looked into the manufacturer and found that it is produced in Serbia using Michelin technology, looking it up on the internet

Out of four wheels, only one was balanced normally! The others had 95-115. Each wheel was spun for half an hour! The sidewall is too soft, the tread seems to be glued on as a separate strip - across the pattern, a seam weld clearly passes. The tire is noisy, there's no point in talking about any comfort - the noise and vibration from this Croatian tire industry miracle. I was tempted by the price and praising reviews, it's unclear where they came from, apparently the traders themselves write them so that this junk can be sold faster! Don't waste your time and money on this junk!

Purchased the set in 2019. Soft, quiet, comfortable tire. But its softness is due to its thin sidewall! Doesn't like curbs very much. I punctured 2 wheels in the courtyards, had to put patches on them. In 2021, I drove to many tire shops in the city to eliminate the imbalance, but it turned out that the cord on one tire had burst along the central tread - a slight vibration appeared after 100 km/h. I recommend it only to careful drivers who like softness and quietness of tires.

Great tires! Soft and quiet! After the native kumho, driving has become a pleasure. Due to the softness of the tires, the car has become a bit waggy in turns, but one needs to get used to it. The main thing is that the car has become really much more comfortable! The balance is max 60 grams. In general, 35-40. The tires are really like donuts :) but for me the main thing is the comfort while driving on our winding

As for tires, I don't have anything to say, but I do have something to say about Mosavtochina, I bought a set of wheels, upon receiving all the wheels were wet and dirty, it feels like I bought used on Avito, not in a store with new ones.

Excellent tyres, quiet, soft, good handling, look great, highly recommend. Will talk about durability later as I haven't driven on them much yet).

On a wet road, I didn't feel any difference. Dry asphalt has shown itself well and quietly with the tire. Overall, the price and quality were liked.

In my opinion, it's the best price-quality combination on the market. This is already the second set of this model I'm buying (the first one was under the Tigar brand). The set lasts for three to four seasons without any complaints (driving 15-20 thousand km per year). However, there are some drawbacks. The main one is that with each season, it becomes increasingly difficult to balance, even considering proper storage during the winter period. By the third season, the balancing weights can easily reach a hundred grams (or more) per disk. This is not surprising, given that the rubber is very soft. Also, one shouldn't expect any cosmic handling or outstanding characteristics, BUT they are quite decent for this price. I would buy them again, and overall, I strongly recommend them!

P.S.: Mosavtoshina, please finally remove the mandatory evaluation of snow and ice handling for summer tires! It's not objective to give an average rating taking them into account.

Purchased in February 2023, the production is fresh. Installed before May. The size is not standard for X3. 255/50/19 is needed, but the standard choice is limited, so the review is relative. I've driven almost 6,000 km in a month. During installation, there were no factory marks (factory balance points) on the tire, so the loaders had to hang more than 80 and 15. In the city, it behaves excellently. I bought it for the highway. It doesn't feel like a rut. I drove on the May holidays early in the morning, and it was minus overnight. The car throws on a frozen road. (Although the tread is like an all-season tire, be careful during frost.) It drives well up to 130, with not much noise. After 130-150 (on X3 G01), the car floats a bit, there's no feeling of sticking to the road, although the speed rating is indicated. I won't say how the tire behaves in the rain (there hasn't been any rain yet). In conclusion: for such money, up to 9,000 (255/50/19), even Chinese tires are often more expensive, so it's definitely worth buying without hesitation. With mid-range tires, it will be equal. The original Alenza RF two seasons did not come off (it went to zero with a total mileage of 55,000, and we felt the rut very strongly, it was scary to drive on a road with ruts, it threw us onto the shoulder)

I've installed these tires on the HS70, Kuga, and now on the Outlander. The quality is excellent, no wonder it's Michelin. The price at the time of my first experience was surprisingly loyal for the quality of the tires. The first impression is absolutely quiet movement. I drove from St. Petersburg to Crimea and back, checked in a downpour from Moscow to Voronezh (so heavy that the windshield wipers couldn't keep up), and in the heat of the mountains in Crimea - absolutely predictable and reliable. I haven't used them on snow and ice, so I'm giving a rating just to fill in the form (it's a summer tire, Summer!). I definitely recommend them. I think that the twin brothers Tigar and Taurus have similar quality, since they are from the same factory.
