Tigar tires belong to the economy class. But the quality is of a high standard. Therefore, tires are in great demand among Russian drivers. And the reviews about Tigar High Performance tires (one of the most popular models) are often positive.
Description and characteristics of tire models Tigar High
Brand models have been produced in Serbia since 1959. In Russia, the company's products appeared in 2017. Tires quickly gained a place in the budget rubber segment due to their affordable price and good performance.
Tigar High Performance (HP) summer tire
The model is suitable for wheels of passenger cars with a diameter of 15-17 inches. The asymmetric tread pattern and unique low silica rubber compound reduce tire wear and increase tire life. With careful driving, they last up to 3-4 seasons (for about 45-60 thousand kilometers).
The main advantages of "Teagar High Performance":
- Massive rigid blocks in the shoulder areas on the outside allow the driver to maneuver smoothly and quickly on a dry roadway at high speed.
- Hydraulic evacuation wide grooves easily remove dirt and moisture, ensuring reliable and stable grip of the machine with the track even in heavy rain.
- Special elements on the inside of the product provide effective acceleration and braking on any type of road surface.
- A soft and lightweight carcass with a wide longitudinal rib in the center reduces rolling resistance, reducing the car's fuel consumption compared to hard rubber (class C).
- Sizes with a profile height of up to 55% are equipped with disc rim protection.
- Low noise (up to 70 dB). Vibration, squeaks and other sounds during short routes are not noticeable and do not distract from the road.
Disadvantages:
- weak side (bends even with 1 finger), so when making sharp turns, the car can “float”;
- a thin tread with a depth of less than 8mm is not suitable for trips over rough terrain due to the high risk of cuts and “bumps” on it;
- no directional protector.
Tigar Ultra High Performance (UHP) summer tire
These tires are designed for passenger cars of various classes. They are produced under the supervision of Michelin engineers. The composition of the rubber compound includes high-tech materials with the addition of silica. All standard sizes of Tigar Ultra Serbian cylinders are equipped with disk rim protection.
Advantages over Tigar HP products:
- The unidirectional tread design with wide longitudinal and transverse drainage channels improves water evacuation, which ensures strong traction.
- The braking distance on wet roads is not increased, and the risk of hydroplaning at high speeds is reduced to a minimum.
- The asymmetric pattern with additional elements has a wider contact patch with the surface, so the car maintains resistance to side slip when cornering.
Disadvantages of UHP:
- the noise level is slightly higher than that of HP due to the presence of a directional protector, but it is hardly noticeable;
- soft rubber with a weak sidewall is not suitable for aggressive driving and driving on a country road.
"Tigar Ultra High Performance" is ideal for straight high-speed movement on any type of asphalt.

- height 65% (in relation to width);
- has a radial cord with a diameter of 15 inches;
- withstands maximum load up to 560 kg;
- for driving at speeds up to 210 km/h.
