Summary

Description

The Kormoran Road Performance is a high-performance summer tire designed for passenger vehicles, prioritizing dry and wet road safety, durability, and responsive handling. Its asymmetric tread pattern combines rigid longitudinal ribs for stability at high speeds with lateral grooves for efficient water evacuation.

Features & Benefits

  • Asymmetric Tread Design: Rigid central ribs improve steering response, while lateral grooves mitigate hydroplaning risks.
  • Silica-Rich Compound: Enhances wet/dry traction and reduces heat buildup, extending tread life (UTQG treadwear rating not specified).
  • Reinforced Shoulder Blocks: Stabilize the tread during aggressive maneuvers, improving dry-road cornering grip.
  • EU Label Ratings: Fuel Efficiency C-D, Wet Grip Class C, Noise Levels 70–71 dB.
  • Optimized Tread Depth: Deeper grooves than standard touring tires enhance wet performance without sacrificing wear resistance.

Year Released

Launched in 2017, the Road Performance remains Kormoran’s primary high-performance summer offering in Europe and Russia.

Regions Availability

Distributed in Europe and Russia, targeting regions with warm summers and occasional heavy rainfall.

Vehicle Compatibility / Popular Vehicle Fitments

Available in 15”–16” diameters, compatible with compact cars, sedans, and sporty hatchbacks, including:

  • Europe: Volkswagen Golf GTI, Ford Fiesta ST, Renault Clio RS
  • Russia: Lada Vesta Sport, Hyundai Solaris, Kia Rio X-Line
  • Sedans/Coupes: Audi A3, BMW 1 Series, Opel Astra

Note: Confirm speed ratings (H/V/W) and load indices with a tire specialist to match driving demands.

Final Thoughts

The Road Performance suits drivers in Europe and Russia seeking affordable high-performance summer tires for spirited driving on paved roads. Its asymmetric design and silica compound deliver competent dry and wet handling, though Wet Grip Class C lags behind premium rivals like Michelin Pilot Sport or Continental PremiumContact. The tire’s noise levels (70–71 dB) and fuel efficiency (C-D) reflect its budget positioning, prioritizing durability over refinement. For track use or extreme cornering, dedicated ultra-high-performance tires are recommended, but for daily drivers and occasional enthusiastic driving, the Road Performance offers a cost-effective balance of sportiness and longevity. A pragmatic choice for urban commuters and highway travelers unwilling to compromise entirely on dynamic capability.
