Kormoran Snow 195/65 R15 95T

The well-known tyre company Michelin has repeatedly noticed the practice of releasing the same model of tyres under the sign of a huge list of subsidiaries. So, the Kormoran Snow winter model can be found on the market with the names Riken Snow, TIGAR Winter, Taurus Winter, Strial Winter and Orium Winter.

Confident patency

Large blocks of a directional tyre tread pattern have different geometric shapes and with their sharp edges literally “bite” into the snow crust, ensuring a confident vehicle throughput on loose snow. Also, the blocks are notable for the high density of cutting three-dimensional sipes — numerous gripping edges enhances traction on slippery surfaces and has a positive effect on the perception of precise execution of steering commands.

Water drainage system

Additionally, the grip properties are enhanced by the so-called micro-ribs inside the longitudinal drainage grooves in the central segment of the treadmill. They form multiple sharp edges. In general, the hydroevacuation system of the model from a network of channels of increased volume handles with the removal of water and melted snow to a solid "five".

Positive traits

Apart from all sorts of marketing tricks, Kormoran Snow will delight motorists with a soft ride, long mileage, resistance to increased loads and mechanical stress. A low rating was assigned to the model only in terms of fuel efficiency — in the size 195/65 R15 this parameter is indicated by the letter of the Latin alphabet D, which is “below the average for the chamber”.
