Owners most often praise the Kormoran Kormoran UHP for dry grip and value, with low noise and comfort also recurring positives. Wet grip is less settled, with favorable comments outnumbering criticism but concerns from around one in five reviews. Later-use wear accounts are generally positive but mixed, and several drivers describe reduced grip after use despite tread remaining. The two repeat reviewers show different experiences: one remains neutral at the end of service, while the other changes from early praise to criticism of sidewall flex and handling. These accounts do not establish a uniform ageing pattern or a fixed mileage for deterioration.

These tires really surprised me.
I bought them for my Mini Cooper D F56 (205/45/17 88V) at the price of 240€.
Their rubber has good quality (not nylon), are quiet, with excellent grip for the everyday drive in dry and wet conditions.
In sporty driving you feel that the tire’s structure isn’t that solid, hence at the limit you don’t get the absolute feeling and grip.
Overall, an excellent tire from Kormoran, which is a subsidiary of Michelin, and that to me explains its value for money.
Had these for less than 1000 miles but so far so good. Originally bought for the rear to replace worn out Goodyear F1 AS2 but they highlighted how poor the Runway 926’s on the front were.
So replaced those with the Kormoran UHP’s too so four matching tires now, and what a difference it’s made.
Very impressed so far, for the price they’re excellent value - time will tell I suppose.
I don’t drive like an F1 driver, so don’t need to spend £140 a tire, but draw the line at budget tires, these are far from that.

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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
