The Kormoran Suv Summer has an entirely favorable owner record, with value, wet and dry grip, and ride comfort recurring strengths. Mid-life accounts also support good wear, though there are no end-of-life reviews to establish the full service life. Quiet running receives repeated praise, and some owners describe useful traction on rough tracks. One repeat reviewer remains positive from initial use into mid-life, but that is one person rather than three independent experiences. Several accounts name Riken, Tigar or Taurus versions, which limits how confidently every favorable impression can be attributed to this exact model.

“I bought tire for Mitsubishi two days ago. We used only 50 km in City. I feel dry grip is good. I can say this tire is silince. On bumpy roads it is smooth. We loved this tires. I will write as I have more experience.”
“it was cheap and affordable. in first sight i didnt have to much expectations. But i like that tire, because it didnt wear at all. If you re a family driver not formula 1, it will totaly make you satisfied.”
I can't believe just how good these Kormoran SUVs are on the front of my Tuscon. After nearly 11000 miles I've still got over 6mm tread left (ok maybe I'm driving too boringly nowadays!), but seriously the wear is fantastically nuts! I've had 'main brand' tires on before (Hankook Ventus Prime 3 being the most recent) and these 'budget' Kormoran's are at least as good all round and certainly way better on wear. Comfortable, noise, fine for all driving conditions (these tests you read seem to assume we'll all drive like Lewis Hamilton!) - My point being that for normal, safe, legal driving in the UK, they match and beat tires costing way more. Will I buy again? Too right I will!
Initial Impressions97% 3,000 miles
Bought 2 Kormoran SUV for the front of my Hyundai Tuscon and couldn't be more pleased for the price. Confident driving, responsive and positive in both wet and dry on both local and motorways. Have driven getting on for 3000 miles with them now, wear isn't noticeable (to the point I had to question my own tread depth gauge!, but seem as good as new)
Highly recommend these
I installed in 2021, the RIKEN 701 tires, (exactly the same tires as the KORMORAN SUV SUMMER, TIGAR SUV SUMMER, TAURUS 701) with dimension 215/65/16 102 H XL on DAIHATSU TERIOSΙΙ 1.5 4X4, (fourth tire on the same car). When changing from the previous MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR (I did not prefer them again because they were not comfortable at all) i noticed a big difference in the behavior of the car. It became noticeably more comfortable in everyday driving. It effectively absorbs any bumps on paved roads (potholes, manhole covers, etc.). As if new shock absorbers were installed!! The car is used as a family car mainly on the road. Off-road it is occasionally taken on vacations and trips. In the summer, on the islands of the Aegean Sea (Greece), for the approach to isolated beaches, on steep, rugged dirt roads with rocky outcrops, no problem arose. Even in the last sandy section, the tires coped on the sand without unpleasant surprises. Unfortunately, they did not happen to be tested on snow although they have an m+s rating. In general, there was no problem either on wet or dry roads (city, provincial roads, highways, etc.). They have been installed on the car for five years (45,000 km) and are going for the sixth year since they have no significant wear. Especially the rear ones are still like new. In conclusion, so far, I am completely satisfied with these tires in terms of grip in all terrains and weather conditions, as well as the low tread wear. But mostly they pleasantly surprised me in terms of the comfort they offer while driving. (surely a heavier vehicle will have different effects on the same tires). I believe that when the time comes to replace them, they will be among my first choices to install the same ones since they offer many advantages, are economical and fit perfectly on my light SUV.

Tigar SUV tires replaced my previous Yokohama set, bought them on a friend's advice.
extremely satisfied, very good wet performance , smooth driving, way cheaper than my previous yoko's.
would highly recommend.
Great grip both in wet and dry. Performance competes with tires at twice the price! Have them fitted to the front axle on my Hyundai Tuscon, covered approx 2000 miles now and tread depth has hardly changed from the original 8mm they came with. Planning to put a pair on the rears as soon as they need replacing.

I have never felt more confident driving my car .
I previously had some Yokohama fitted on them they were a disaster on wet and dry.
Once i shifted for tigar the difference was noticeable i feel so much safer really
I have the Taurus 701 version of these tires, but they are completely identical to the Kormoran SUV summer and the Riken 701 - different brand names all made identically in the same Michelin subsidiary factory, but Tirereviews only list this version for some reason. These tires on my Kia Sportage 150Hp 4WD are excellent. I had my doubts as I have had Continentals before but money was tight so I went for these and have absolutely no regrets. On the road in dry and wet they are grippy, handle well, are quieter than the Continentals, and are very comfortable. Off road on gravel, mud and rocks they seem to grip well (they are M+S rated), and in snow they are faultless - I took the car down a rocky track covered in snow and ice and didn’t lose grip once. After 3,000 miles there is no sign of any wear or deformity. These are a very good ‘budget’ tire worthy of a mid-range or even premium label.

Initially I was using Pirelli Scorpion Verde tires on my Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi 4wd. When tires were worn off, I was advised for Kormoran tires. At first, I did not know about Kormoran too well. When I owned Kormoran SUV Summer tires, I was really pleased. The noise level is rather low with respect to other tires. The dry grip is good even while travelling at 110 mph and with instant maneuvers at low speeds. Off road performance is nice. On rocky and soil roads, I had no issues. Even once I got onto a sandy road near the coast for a short distance and my SUV did not stuck in the sandy road while there were other cars got stuck. I have found the wet grip really good. Besides the wet and rainy days, I experienced a really very heavy rain once. Even during that heavy rain, these tires gripped the road well even the sight range was only a few meters! I was able to cruise 30 mph under that heavy rain without any slid or any other issues. The road was flooded for a few inches of water for sure. I was surprised at that performance. After using the tires for 25000 miles in 4 years, the wear is rather low and it is in quite good shape. I have never used these tires in snowy conditions or on ice since I changed them with winter tires each year. In my opinion, Kormoran SUV Summer is a very good choice for price-wise and performance. Certainly I would buy them again.
Bought after research. Good depth of tread for a new tire, so many seem to only last 15,000 or so. Handling improved straight away, replaced very expensive Bridgestones. Used on rough tracks a lot and rural roads in two and four-wheel drive modes.
The snow in February proved their worth, they have an M&S rating but I was surprised how well they gripped on fresh snow.
Handling in the wet is very good too, ride comfort is good and low tire noise.
Wearing very well after 12000 miles, expect to get well over 25000 out of a set.
For the price an excellent choice.
