Given 90% while driving a Skoda Superb MK3 (2015 Present) (235/40 R18) on mostly town for 15,000 average miles
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.

Given 68% while driving a BMW (225/40 R18) on mostly motorways for 1,000 average miles
Bought a full set of these for my 2009 135i. For the money they are fantastic, especially coming from the runflats that had previously been fitted. The ride quality is vastly improved and grip is impressive considering the price but don’t expect these to be as good as premium tires such as ps4. Due to the compliance in the sidewall of the tires themselves they almost have a steering delay/twitch at higher speeds but it may be the suspension set up of the car which is done to compensate for the firmness of rft. This would not put me off from buying them again. Road noise is decent but not particularly quiet. Overall a great tire for the price.

Given 56% while driving a Volkswagen Golf 7 TDI (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 4,000 average miles
I bought this tires for a small car that doesn't drive often thinking they will be all right for the use. I was very wrong. When new they are okay, but after a year the wet handling was horible, as well as the breaking distance. Would not recommend to buy to anyone, as the are quite dangerous to drive after two years old

Given 77% while driving a Ford Mondeo Titanium X Sport (235/40 R19) on a combination of roads for 25,000 average miles
Having used these for 25k miles on an almost 2 ton car they have served me really well. Commute is 1/3 country roads, 1/3 A road and 1/3 motorway. After 2 years they are now reaching their wear indicator so very good durability. Dry grip is very good. Wet can be a little sketchy if the roads are greasy but pretty predictable. Resistant to most winter potholes, ie. no real damage after hitting a couple of decent sized craters. Will be replacing these with the same again next month.

2 years and 15000 miles in, my tyres are cracked between the tread blocks, still have 3-4mm tread on them, this is really disappointing, won't recommend anyone to buy them

Replaced a front pair of Bridgestones, with these budget radials. Shocked at how much of an improvement these Kormoran UHP tyres are. Excellent feedback, noticeably quieter ride and great grip. Too early to review wear rate, after a month but looking good so far.
Highly recommend

I purchased 2 tyres after reading the reviews on here and all I can say is what a great tyre. I can't comment on wear yet because I've only driven around 200 miles.. They replaced my Michelin Primacy 3, which I found to be very stiff and noisy.

TL;DR: Overall the tires were fine for a couple of years (~20-25000km).

I drive on the roads of Greece in and out of the city, mainly in a calm pace for gas preservation. I changed from a set of overused Semperit to Kormoran UHP at 5/2020. I scored the tires based on the overall impression and not at how they feel now at the end of their life. At the beginning the tires felt amazing! I used to receive good road feedback and I they gripped very well. I remember noticing that it felt grippier in the wet than in the dry. So for the first year (mid2020-21/0-7000km) the tires were adequate and I was happy about choosing them. The second year (2021->22/7000-19000km) the tires still felt ok, I remember checking for tread wear and I didn't find any observable degradation. In that year I tested for aquaplaning at different speeds and no concerns were raised. In the third year I performed back-to-front tire change. The mechanic didn't observe any excessive wear patterns. However at the end of that year, I noticed I was oversteering at the motorways (2022->23/19000-31000km). Now at ~33500km the tires feel really bad to the point I am very conscious when driving at cruising speeds on roads with consecutive turns. Although they are not completely worn out (the arrow indicator is fully present) some cracks can be observed on the treads as well. To this day the consumption of the car remains at the manufacturer levels, so the tires have not been degraded on this regard. I can't tell about the noise in the cabin b/c my exhaust dampens all other sounds. Also I haven't decided what tires should I fit next.

Not bad at all, driving a heavily modified diesel with a massive hybrid turbo and a boat load of torque. Likes to spin up tyres no matter what the brand. These tyres are great.

Fantastic value for money. Took a punt on these when I had two tyres punctured at once, as the tyres I wanted were on back order. Wet grip is not great, but no where near as bad as I had been led to believe. The rear of my car can break away under power anyway, and I was expecting these to be dicey in heavy rain, and they aren't - but just because they aren't dangerous in the wet doesn't mean they're particularly good either. in the wet you will need to watch corner exit speed in a RWD car and braking before a corner in a FWD car. And let's face it, driving hard in the rain is a bit silly anyway. Dry grip and handling are good for a premium tyre, let alone a budget. Very impressive grip, progressive understeer and decent feedback. The side wall of these tyres is fairly soft, which aids comfort but does mean you have to take a little flobbery-ness into account on turn in. Load them up with some smooth assertive steering and you'll do fine. Wear is average. My rears will need replacing in around 3000 miles, and they've been on for 7000. Comfort and noise are acceptable, although they can drone on some surfaces. Overall, I think these are the best bang for buck performance tyres I've driven on. Recommended.

Given 87% while driving a Alfa Romeo GTV (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 10 spirited miles
Had these on the back of My alfa GTV 2.0 twinspark .no rocket ship but handles very well in the corners.To be honest I cant fault them rain or shine ware seems good a lot better than the Avon XV7s on the front of the car that have worn in a strange way and have cracks in the tread. I and now thinking of replacing the avons with a set of these on the front for around a £100 a pair there very good

Given 83% while driving a Nissan LEAF Tekna (215/50 R17) on mostly country roads for 1,500 spirited miles
So these replaced other budget tyres (P609) after a bulge developed, and I can honestly say that they are far more grippy. They are easily twice as good in the wet and far less tyre squeak in the dry on pull-away. Braking is noticeably more stable and uniform. I would say they are excellent, given they are far better than comparatively priced budget tyres. I have no way to know if they are better or as good as anything premium, as I have not been able to compare them like for like on the same car. But I would certainly purchase them again and for other cars given these last 1500 miles and wintry conditions.
