Ranked #16 of 16
Finishing in 16th position out of 16 competitors, the Kormoran SNOW ended the evaluation with an overall 'Poor' rating. The tire demonstrated absolute safety and precise handling on snowy surfaces, standing out as the best performer in winter conditions. It also boasted a high projected mileage and low fuel consumption, contributing to a positive environmental impact. However, its performance was critically compromised on dry and particularly wet roads. On dry surfaces, the tire necessitated constant steering corrections due to its delayed response to steering commands and a tendency to drift from a steady turning radius. During dynamic maneuvers or lane changes, it was prone to early oversteering. Its braking distances were below average, aligning with a bottom-tier performance, especially on wet surfaces where its grip level was very low, making it hard to control due to premature understeering or oversteering, alongside extended sliding phases. Due to these safety concerns, despite its advantages in specific conditions, the tire is ultimately not recommended.
