Tires SUMITOMO or Kormoran

Sumitomo Encounter ATs are hands down the best bang for the buck.

Kormoran. Kommt aus Polen wurde aber von Michelin aufgekauft. Bin zufrieden

Meti 4 Kormoran UHP (com o devido alinhamento e calibração) por 328€ e outros 4 Barum Bravuris por 352€.

Os Kormoran, uso diaramente, e estou bem contente pelo preço. Mesmo em chuva portam-se bem, mas não são pneus para te armares em Ayrton Senna nessas condições climatéricas :D

O ponto negativo que dou, mas isso é ser picuinhas, é o desenho do pneu que é diferente do habitual e acho feio.

Just got a set on my winter stock wheels about a week ago now. I love the look. I'm currently running Sumitomo Ice Edge tires in the size 245/25/18. I previously had a set of Blizzarks (245/40/18) and can't really feel any significant difference in performance with the taller sidewall.

sumitomo is significantly better than any no name Chinese tire

I had sumitomo ASPO3 on my Honda Accord and they were honestly really good tires The asymmetrical tread pattern did very well in the wet and light to moderate snow, I would purchase them again.

I daily drive with the Sumitomos they are alright in the dry but I do find they aren't as good in the wet. They do feel pretty predictable when driving hard and the tire wear isn't too bad.

I almost totalled my RX-8 when my HTRZIII's were not even that bad. Don't get me wrong, they're okay for the price (actually a great drifting tire), but I can't but help think you get what you pay for in terms of how quickly they wear, and especially how bad traction is when they get near the end.

Im a tech who has installed these (customer requested) and had them on one of my cars a few years ago. The only good points about them were the tread wear and the affordable cost. They have a VERY hard compound which means they lose traction easy. I was told by a customer, as well as my experience, that they spun very easily on wet surfaces and were terrible in the snow. They were also noisy at highway speeds. I do NOT recommend them and dont sell them unless requested.

The only tire brand I never liked was Sumitomo. They were always much narrower than spec and seemed to loose grip when you needed it most.
