Given 46% while driving a Volkswagen Sharan SE 2.0TDi (225/45 R18 V) on mostly country roads for 800 average miles
Got these new when I bought the car second hand. Inspire of a somewhat soft suspension, for a VW, the tires transmitt every single grain of sand on the road back to the cabin. Dry grip feels ok, corners well, taking the car where you point it at. Wet is another story. After a summer spell and mucky roads, the tires didn't show enough grip to give me confidence in them in the wet. Not buying this brand in the future, can't wait to replace them.

Okey. So lets start with the price. I got a great deal for 44€ per tire thats very cheap for a UPH tire with this profile. It offers very good preformance for sporty driving (only on dry). Grip on dry is very good, but when it was cold around 10 degrees tryre doenst grip well (in April). The wet grip is only just okey for normal driving or motorway. The tire groove looks aggressive i like that. The noise is not to loud and the comfort is okey. Drove 6000km very little wear.(new tryres est.7.4mm deep goove now est.7.0mm) I think these tryers for the price offer more than i expected so i would definetly buy again!

There's a new all season tire, can it be best?!

Nothing wrong with these at all. Seems Asda Tires are pushing these into the UK market and that's a good thing! Very good wet and dry grip....it's not a sports car, but for everyday driving I can't see much difference in grip/handling than the Michelin PS4 tires on the car previously. Driven in all weathers other than snow - even very heavy rain and standing water was well within their capabilities. Not had long enough to comment on wear. Overall very impressed for the money.

Given 80% while driving a Alfa Romeo 159 (235/40 R19) on mostly town for 1,000 average miles
Changed from Maxxis Victory Sport to Kormoran UHP
Couldn’t believe the difference the car rode quieter and smoother not as sharp at the steering wheel but not that far off
Tread pattern looks more aggressive see if these last more than 10K

Have driven them for a full summer (approx. 20 000 km) and can't be more happy with the tires. The grip is really impressive and the feedback you get from the tires is excellent. Really feel connected to the road. Strongly recommend.

Given 86% while driving a Mazda RX8 (245/40 R18 W) on mostly country roads for 5,000 average miles
Very good tire for the price...!
In dry condition especially very comfort and sporty...
Low noise in the cabin, on wet also good but not for extreme sporty driving...
I recommend it for those who want to drive sporty but not burn the tire out of its core....
It's a good robust and trustworthy tire...
I changed them from Sailun Atrezzo ZSR and previous I had Continental Sport Contact 3's...

If I bought them again the Kormoran UHP?
For sure!!
But if you want and can afford sth more expensive, go for that...
Like GoodYear assymetric...

I'm really surprised with theese tires!
I was afraid of wet driving but today it was raining a lot and so I decided to go test the tires.
The car feels real safe when curving on water, sometimes it feels it grips even better than with dry weather!

Would buy again !!!

Given 89% while driving a BMW E61 530d Touring (245/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
There is a lot of tire for the money. I wouldnt worry about the wet grip, it is more then enough for normal driving manners. I have driven this tire cross europe in all kinds of weather, high speeds in autobahn, on some bad roads in eastern europe. Overall definitely bang for buck.
The tire is surprisingly comfortable for UHP tire, ride is not harsh and usable in bad roads.
Of course there is less confidence in this tire, when you really start pushing it, then for example PS4S that is on my STI, but so is the price!

Will buy again!

4x Kormoran UHP 245/40/R19 98Y
Discount tire for low & dangerous results in live situations :

* Medium grip on dry (for little car it's good / for car with some couple and HP be prudent).
* Wet conditions are catastrophic and very risky ! On autobanh i can't depass 110km/h.. Aquaplaning on aquaplaning.
* Can't put some gaz on wet.

I recommend this tire for little citizen car and low HP. It's a good discount tire.
For people who make many kilometers and drive under wet conditions, go away !

Just good to kill yourself and loose grip. I switch for Pilot Sport 4 ! It's night & day.

Used during one summer, ca 15000km, very good for its value of 240€ (235/40/19). Very good drip on dry and wet surfaces even upto 0 C° mid Nov.
