Kormoran SNOW is a winter tyre made in total of 63 sizes, ranging from R15 to R15 - this particular dimension is R16, which means it fits to a 16 inch/406.4mm diameter wheel. 225/55 R16 is 60mm wider than the narrowest dimension (165) and 20mm narrower than the widest one (245). This tyre profile of 55 means the sidewall height of the tyre is 55% of the tyre width (225mm), which results in 123.75mm sidewall height. In 225/55 R16, there is only one possible speed index for Kormoran SNOW - "H", which is good for speeds up to 210 km/h.

Ranked #16 of 16
Finishing in 16th position out of 16 competitors, the Kormoran SNOW ended the evaluation with an overall 'Poor' rating. The tire demonstrated absolute safety and precise handling on snowy surfaces, standing out as the best performer in winter conditions. It also boasted a high projected mileage and low fuel consumption, contributing to a positive environmental impact. However, its performance was critically compromised on dry and particularly wet roads. On dry surfaces, the tire necessitated constant steering corrections due to its delayed response to steering commands and a tendency to drift from a steady turning radius. During dynamic maneuvers or lane changes, it was prone to early oversteering. Its braking distances were below average, aligning with a bottom-tier performance, especially on wet surfaces where its grip level was very low, making it hard to control due to premature understeering or oversteering, alongside extended sliding phases. Due to these safety concerns, despite its advantages in specific conditions, the tire is ultimately not recommended.
