Tyre reviews Kormoran SUV Stud 253

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.

I bought tires at Mosaavtomashina. They look like quality ones, made in Serbia. The first season was in 2019. There was no snow in Central Russia at all. Soft, low-noise tires. All bumps pass like soft tires from Michelin. Mud is qualitatively torn by the tread, and passability is good. The year 2020 came, and a lot of snow fell, with frosts, and all the impressions ended. On the first ice, I turned right, and the car went straight. It was good on a large parking lot and at a speed of 20 km/h. This is not its thing, ice is generally contraindicated. All trips on uncleared roads were on the verge of a heart attack. In 2021, I bought Hakkapeliitta 10p. Yes, it's expensive, but it's heaven and earth. When you drive without any drifts, skids, and other romance. Tires for Moscow with clean winter roads. For those with other conditions, I wouldn't take them.

I bought Kormoran SUV Stud 215/60 R17 100T XL tires in 2020 for the winter season for a 2016 KIA Soul II.

The tire itself pleasantly surprised me with its softness to the touch and the durability of the studs. I have been searching for tires with a tread pattern with siping and large grooves and huge distances between the blocks for a long time. I live in Syktyvkar, where it

In use since November 2018. Studs in place, very pleased that there is no howl and noise when driving, on dry road and on snow all great. When you now accidentally hit a wet groove - not much is thrown off as with all probably tires, but the car handles confidently on a wet road.

Excellent tires, except that the balancing immediately threw off 30-80g, after 1,000 km they sagged and balancing became 10-50g. The tires are quiet, with a slight hum at 60-70km/h, and the studs are silent. The acceleration, steering stability, and traction are outstanding. The studs are still in place. The brakes are superb. The tires are 225/65/17 106H on a microbus, with a load

The second car in the family is an RAV4 mounted with Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 tyres and it's much noisier. My wife thinks my car on the Continentals brakes better. For my part, I specifically tried an emergency stop on packed snow - the braking distance seemed long, but the car slid predictably straight. All in all I'm happy with the tyres and given they are a third of the price of the Hakkas I think they're a great buy

Great tire for its price. It's quiet on asphalt, holds the road well on ice, as long as you drive normally. It also brakes normally, but on a clean ice it locks up ABS. I've only driven it a little, mostly on the highway, there you drive with pleasure.

I bought these tires looking at the price and good experience with the non-studded analogue of this brand on another, lighter, car. I needed studs for trips to the Moscow region. I'm satisfied with everything. There are no miracles, but also no mistakes. Good tires, although a bit noisy, but studded tires are never quiet. )))
