I've had the pleasure of using both their summer UHP and winter ones offerings, driving them right down to their end of life, and I can confidently say these tires delivered on every front.
From the moment I put them on, the grip was exceptional. Whether it was scorching summer asphalt or icy winter roads, the Tigar UHPs consistently inspired confidence. Cornering felt secure, and braking was always responsive, giving me peace of mind in all conditions.
The handling was equally impressive. These tires made my car feel nimble and precise. Steering inputs translated directly to the road, providing a direct and engaging driving experience. Even as they wore down, the predictability and control remained, which is a testament to their quality construction. It's rare to find tires that maintain such composure throughout their lifespan.
And then there's the comfort. Despite being high-performance tires, the Tigar UHPs provided a surprisingly smooth and quiet ride. Long journeys were never a chore, and road imperfections were absorbed with ease.
Having driven them until their very last mile, I can wholeheartedly recommend Tigar UHP tires. They proved to be durable, reliable, and simply a joy to drive on, regardless of the season. If you're looking for tires that offer excellent grip, precise handling, and a comfortable ride, look no further!
P.S.: Both the summer and the winter ones survived each 30k km on Bulgarian roads, which are well know to be a disaster

Those tires are a great choice for a city run. As for me, they are a little bit noisy at 120+ km/h, but still they are ok for country roads.
Also, they are really soft.
The price/quality relation is brilliant!

I fitted the tires on a 2010 Mercedes E250 coupe, which is known to be very slippery, but regardless the tires did magic.
I had fitted Yokohamas previously and couldn't drive it when it rained because of the fishtailing and traction control always turning on.
Ever since I fitted these tires, my car and driving experience has drastically changed. I try to push my Tigars to the extreme and honestly they don't deceive especially on wet roads.
Handling and wear is also extremely positive.
I would definitely buy again and would recommend everybody to try this tire.
I am from Serbia, the country where Tigar, Orium, Riken, Kormoran, Taurus are made (exactly the same tires, same pattern and compound - the name depends on the market where the tires are exported). They are part of the Michelin group. Exceptional tires for the price. They are comfortable, perfect handling on dry asphalt and could be a shade better on wet asphalt. The rubber is soft and comfortable but does not wear out too quickly. I will buy it again, for sure!
Got these as they were on a deal with ATS. They have big brand backing. An interesting edge tread pattern. They are noticeably noisier than the pirelli p7 that came off. Dry grip is adequate but I wouldn't say it was Amazing for a UHP.
Wet grip leaves alot to be desired even at average speeds. Easily wheel spin on lightly wet roads when pulling off. They get noisier the longer they are on. Good value though and far better than a Chinese equivalent
Switched from expensive Yokohama tires to the Tigar brand upon the advice of the tire dealer.
Absolutely amazing tires ,extremely comfortable.
Wet driving is better than my previous tires , with almost 40% cheaper.
Highly recommend
This is my second review of the same tyre. I'll repeat again, for daily, normal style of driving this tyre ticks all the boxes. Caution on wet rainy roads, just be a little extra careful. Haven't had any bad experience or issues so far. I drove through very big potholes (rimbreakers) in average speed, till now all is good. Perfect budget tyre. Just buy it without hesitation.
Those tires drove extremely well on wet roads; very comfortable in long trips.
Best quality/price ratio tires I've ever bought.
way better than my previous Kumho's.
Highly recommend.
Fitted them and immediately noticed change in the ride comfort. The tyre is very very soft which made me nervous about it but the feedback frim previous users was very high of the quality. And yes the price is half as much as a premium brand tyre but for daily driving and not exceeding speeds of 130 kmph is just solid choice as any other premium tyre. Highly recommend this tyre without hesitation. The drive is like diving through butyer paved roads very elegant feel of the road very soft.
amazingly performing on wet and dry pavement .
good comfort.
No big difference from my previous Goodyear tires.
Excellent quality/price ratio, highly recommend.
