I purchased a set of Kormoran GAMMA B2 tyres due to temporary lack of cash. I do not think it was a mistake. I thought that it is better to wait a month and buy something from premium brands. I drive quite a lot. I do approximately 80 miles a day. I had some Michelin tyres mounted previously on my vehicle (they served me for several years). The Kormoran GAMMA B2 tyres are a bit noisier. However, they still provide good grip. Furthermore, the tyres are surprisingly comfortable. My car has a 150 horsepower (350Nm) engine and I have never experienced any serious problems on the road with these tyres mounted on wheels. I feel confident while driving in rainy weather conditions. In conclusion, after doing more than 5.000 miles they behave very well. They provide good durability. They may have some drawbacks. Perhaps they are not as good as premium brands like Pirelli, Michelin or Continental but they are still worth being recommended. The Kormoran GAMMA B2 tyres offer good price to quality ratio. If you are looking for good quality and a reasonable price, it is a good choice.

I cannot use these tyres anymore just because of an asphalt type in Ireland. It is almost like a sandpaper. My Ford Mondeo is not a light vehicle. The Kormoran GAMMA B2 tyres provided me with perfect grip but they worn out quickly. I do not think it is a fault of the tyres. The tyres are doing well on a dry surface. They are a little bit softer than the previous model. They did not cause any problems on wet surfaces. Moreover, they enabled me to drive faster in corners. The main reason of a fast tread wear I mentioned is the surface I had to drive on. The Kormoran GAMMA B2 tyres are remarkably quiet. You almost cannot hear them. It is difficult to point out any negative aspects. These tyres are one of the best I have ever had.

Hello, I bought 2 bouquets in July 2008 and drive ahead in my Xsara from 2000, I rate them well, the car firmly sticks to the straight road and in the corners. I traveled about 2000 km on them and I am satisfied with them, they drain the water quite well during the rain as well as when entering the puddle. For this price they are ok

There is no problem with grip on dry and wet surfaces. With the tyre width of 205, there are 3 channels that drain the water well. They have one major disadvantage: they are loud. For me it is a very big drawback. It does not irritate me much while driving around the city, but even the radio does not help during longer trips.

Very nice tires, before I had some howling Ukrainian trash called (Premiori) noise unbearable, sound resembled worn bearings in hubs, exchanged for cormorant and silence in the car and pleasant ride.
