2022 ADAC 16" SUV Summer Tyre Test
18th of 18 tyres
  • Top marks for fuel consumption.
  • Yakıt tüketiminde tam not.
  • Bestnoten beim Kraftstoffverbrauch.
  • Excellentes notes en matière de consommation de carburant.
  • Weak on dry roads and especially weak on wet roads.
  • Kuru yollarda zayıf, özellikle ıslak yollarda zayıf.
  • Schwach auf trockener Fahrbahn und besonders schwach auf nasser Fahrbahn.
  • Faible sur route sèche et particulièrement faible sur route mouillée.
  • Due to its weaknesses on dry and wet roads, the Kormoran Road Performance does not get more than a sufficient rating and thus receives the title conditionally recommendable as the last in the field. In the wear test, the tire is still rated as good.
  • Kuru ve ıslak yollardaki zayıflıkları nedeniyle Kormoran Road Performance yeterli bir derecelendirmeden fazlasını alamıyor ve bu nedenle sahadaki sonuncu olarak koşullu olarak tavsiye edilebilir unvanını alıyor. Aşınma testinde lastik hala iyi olarak derecelendiriliyor.
  • Aufgrund seiner Schwächen auf trockener und nasser Fahrbahn kommt der Kormoran Road Performance nicht über die Wertung ausreichend hinaus und erhält damit als letzter im Feld das Prädikat bedingt empfehlenswert. Im Verschleißtest wird der Reifen noch mit gut bewertet.
  • En raison de ses faiblesses sur route sèche et mouillée, le Kormoran Road Performance n'obtient pas plus qu'une note suffisante et reçoit ainsi le titre de pneu recommandable sous condition comme dernier de la catégorie. Lors du test d'usure, le pneu est toujours jugé bon.

Top 3 Riken Road Performance Reviews

Given 100% while driving a Ford Focus mk2 (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 2,000 easy going miles
I have driven them for a few thousand kilometers now and very happy with them. Paid 40€ per unit and everything feels good for me. I have to say that i have calm and easy driving style so i can not give a real answer about grip and performance, but for driving normally in traffic, i would recommend these.

Given 64% while driving a Honda Insight Hybrid Gen 2 (175/65 R15) on mostly motorways for 500 easy going miles
Fitted two of these on the front in a hurry because they were cheap. Nothing wrong with the grip under most conditions, but they seemed agricultural compared with my previous Toyos and the ride was harsh. They were also very noisy, which got tiring and I was almost pleased when I got a puncture in one and was able to replace both with Khumos, which are superior in every way.

Not good in rainy conditions, adequate in normal conditions, a little louder than I am used to. No issues with wear after 15k km. Good for normal everyday driving, nothing else

Given 100% while driving a Mercedes Benz CLK200 (225/50 R16) on a combination of roads for 400 easy going miles
My used 2003 clk came with 17" wheels and 40 profile old tyres. I put kormoran new tyres on 16" assymetric mercedes wheels 205/55/16 and 225/50/16. For my relaxed driving style it's a 10 rating for me and combined with the good price it's a good deal all four 280 euro today 27/1/24. The comfort is night and day, very good, compared with the previous set up. I did national road and mountain road driving. On a dirt wash in a turn didn't slip. I drove 200km to the destination and gave the car to the co driver to return. Good in both hands. I put those just to see if a like the rims but it was a good surprise.

Given 51% while driving a Honda Civic Type S (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 15,000 spirited miles
Terrible! Fitted to the front of Civic Type S and whilst they're just about OK in the dry,they're appalling in the wet. No grip whatsoever, and wearing wrinkly as well. Avoid!

Given 73% while driving a Volkswagen B5 Passat 1.8t (235/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 20,000 spirited miles
Definitely beat the hell out of these tires on a daily basis and they took it well their grip on dry pavement is comparable to tires that are way more expensive with minimal road noise. The only area where they suffer is when the road becomes wet. They hydroplane very easily and can become borderline unsafe in standing water. Tread lasted pretty well although I didn’t use them for more than a year or so. I would get them again for a summer vehicle but if you live somewhere with bad weather I would recommend something with more wet traction for daily driving

Given 86% while driving a Mercedes Benz S500 (255/45 R18) on mostly country roads for 6,000 average miles
Excellent tyre, road noise is minimum and give a good firm but comfortable ride in all conditions ,these are fitted to a Mercedes S class limousine long wheel base and are the best tyres I’ve had , better than the premium brands . The car has been driven in all conditions other than deep snow and fully do what is required .As a former professional driver who has had to drive in some awful weather conditions I fully recommend these tyre and would certainly buy again and again. Don’t waste money on labels that are not as good , it’s money down the drain, these are made in the same factory as Michelin tyres!!!

Fitted these to my Skoda Fabia. They replaced Uniroyals. The Kormoran seem fine. Little noise. I'm not a fast driver.

Worst Tyre I bought ever. The Tyre didn't last for 6 month, and generated unbelievable noise... I sent my car to the mechanic because I tought the niloise from the car. How we it came from the tyres... Don't buy at all. It is worst that the worst low budget Tyre.

Given 79% while driving a Volvo V70 D5 165bhp (03) (225/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
These tires were a part of a rim/tire combo when I was shopping for rims, since they were included in the price (brand new), decided that I'll take them. Was skeptical at first, but immediately was surprised how quiet they are both at low speeds (city) and higher speeds (highway/motorway). Now, in terms of comfort they are really good, but those few times I've pushed them a little they haven't responded well, slight understeer, low confidence in the corners, might be due to my car being a heavier Volvo, but on the other hand when emergency braking was involved the ABS didn't kick in and they handled the situation very well. All in all I would say that they are more of a comfort, relaxed driving style type of tires and if you're not looking for anything more then they are the way to go. Wear is minimal, but then again, not that many kms covered this summer, so difficult to judge just yet. Notable mention that after just this summer (2021) they have started to crack at the top of the sidewall, so that's a bit of a concern for the longevity aspect.

Driven for 1000 km. Very low control over the road. Flimsy feel of road. Don't feel safe driving high speed (140 km/h) Not recommended.

I've had these tyres fitted to the wife's car for about 2 years now, shes done about 8000 miles on them and they've still seem to have plenty of tread left on them especially the rears. all aspects of the tyres seem very good for the price. I don't see the need to spend silly amounts of money on tyres when these ones are more than sufficient and with the added bonus of Riken been part of Michelin and in my opinion the same quality.
