Tires Kumho or Sailun
Never used Laufenn. But I had good luck with a set Saiilun.
I got the KU22 all seasons on my 4th gen 3 sedan a few weeks ago and its pretty nice. Not that much road noise, good grip.
I will resurrect this just because my car came with Sailun Atrezzo 480. I bought a 3rd gen Prius 4 years ago with 76K and it now has 142K. The tires have been fine & just getting to the wear bars. I was going to replace them at first but kind of tested them for traction in dry and rain and they seemed to grip good. I was just tire shopping and was going to get Michelins but decided on another set of Sailuns since I have been happy with them and it was $680.00 compared to $250.00. I would not have considered them if they did not come on the car but now that they have proven themselves I am getting another set. Yes you get what you pay for but these have been as good as anything else for a daily driver.
I’ve been running Kuhmo from Walmart for nearly 2 years and they’ve been awesome!
In that size, and I know because I run the same, is the unsexy (and unbothered by it) Kumho Ecsta V730. Good tire, quick tire, lives well with the heat, takes abuse from camber limited cars, and is the cheapest super 200 out there.
I change from then OEM hankook ventus2 to high performance all season Kumho Ecsta PA51 and I love the,. They handle almost as good as the OEM summer performance tires but are much safer in winter, even though Texas winters aren’t terribly cold it does snow here and does drop,below freezing. It’s simply unsafe to drive summer tires below freezing. The kumhos handle very welll to and they are not expensive. And highly recommend.
Kumho Ecstas aren’t the best but they’re very affordable and do the job well. More grip, quieter and better ride than OEM.
I replaced my Proxes with Kumho Ecsta PA51. They feel more comfy, but feel like they have a bit more road noise.
Kumho’s no idea what type of Kumho. But they’re absolutely terrible.
Falken RT660 suck when temps are below 60F as even in the dry the rears won't get enough heat in them to work properly until around runs 5-6. Kumho V730 do better in cool dry weather than the RT660, but they're not a rain tire (at least not here in the Pacific NW).
