Tires Cooper or Laufenn
Just put cooper discoverer road and trail’s on mine and they have been great in the rain. Better in the rain than most A/Ts
I have had Laufenn G Fit on my Honda Fit since this summer. They're Hankooks and fantastic. I wanted a low noise grand touring tire and these had pretty good reviews and I got them for about 85 bucks each a corner on sale and thought, this is a Pimp My Ride moment that I cannot give up. I mean I heard you liked Fits yo so I got you four G Fits for your Fit.
This Honda is a noisy car compared to most other modern cars and the previous Sumitomos roared with half the tread left. These new guys just sort of hum quietly and calmly and sometimes I don't even hear them on really good pavement. They are night and day better as far as comfort and noise.
The highway feel is amazing, they track really well and took away any squirliness of the car which it inherently has because it's rather lightweight. It feels like you're driving a little train, but it easily switches lanes when you need to. I don't feel like I need to correct as much when I'm at speed.
Criticisms you'll find online have to do with wet weather grip which I took pretty seriously by going out to some empty roads and trying to peel out and slide in a torrential downpour. I couldn't find any fault with them compared to the older tires.
Of course they might not be the right tires on something else like a big old German touring sedan. But on this 2500 lb Honda they are comically good for the price.
I like them so much I'm thinking about getting some for my CRV as well. I like them better than the Michelin Defender that were on a car that I just sold. Of course, I think the Michelin probably has longer tread wear, but as far as the driving feel these cheap tires are amazing.
Just a reminder, I'm talking about the G version and not the X or I think they make an s version too. But I assume they all have similar carcasses and compounds.
Laufenn, I currently have those tires for my truck. Had them for 2 years so far and still plenty of tread left. Was also looking for a decent all weather tire and found this. Highly recommend.
My car came with laufenn winter tires. I was initially a bit disappointed as I never heard that brand before but after research, realized they are a sub brand of Hankook, manufacturer of quality tires. The winter tires i have are really good, even in heavy snow never felt a loss of traction. Also pretty quiet.
We have been running some amazing Cooper tires on our Acura. I think they have more than 75k on them and we are not changing them yet. They are top notch tires.
For an SUV/CUV I generally recommend Cooper Discoverer Enduramax which maybe a good choice here as it has an extra belt layer and is a bit tougher than many regular all-weather tires
I got Coopers on both our pickup and VW Jetta in the past year. They were on sale. Seem good...
Sa kangoo-om na Laufenn Zimskim gumama bez problema i kroz 20-30cm snega. Sa Jazzom... Katastrofa.
Had them on a Silverado. Hot garbage. Coopers QC is non existent.
These are pretty much done you’re almost at the wear bars, and the outside shoulder is already going bald. They’ll still roll, but grip in rain is going to be noticeably worse, especially under braking.
