vs
Tires Laufenn or DEXTER
I just bought these for my Model Y, partly because they were priced at $108/each. I think it's an outstanding deal. I'll happily run my Laufenns.
Pros: outstanding value
Neighbor has Laufenn X Fit and I have G Fit and we're totally pleased with this Hankook sub brand in middle TN. Really quiet tires as Hankooks tend to be. Mostly excellent reviews on tire rack but a few folks claimed they were horrific in wet. So I went out on soaked roads and a parking lot and tested them and it took really heroic maneuvers that I never do to get as much as a chirp.
Pros: quiet tires, excellent reviews
Cons: horrific in wet (claimed)
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
The Laufenn S Fit tires are an absolute steal at $108 each. Laufenn is the budget line made by Hankook, a South Korean tire company. These particular tires are manufactured in Indonesia. I bought them with confidence. I expect to get at least as much out of our new Laufenns.
Pros: excellent value, good quality
I always get the budget "Dextero" brand from WalMart, and I've been happy with them.
Pros: Happy with performance, good value

pērku vidējo galu no Laufenn un esmu apmierināts. Bieži riepas nav jāmaina, skaļas neliekas. Esmu apmierināts.
Pros: nav skaļas, apmierināts
Laufenn is a budget division of a budget/mid range brand (hankook) so the overall longevity and quality of the tire maybe isnt the same as higher end brands like michelin, continental or pirelli.
Cons: lower longevity, lower quality
I always get the budget "Dextero" brand from WalMart for my personal vehicles, and they seem to last just fine. Sometimes I have to take them to a real tire shop for re-balance, but most of the time it's fine from the WalMart TLE.
Pros: good longevity
Cons: needs re-balancing
I can say their cheap "Dextero" tires are a reasonably solid chineseum tire. I think they're badged as 40-45k tires but really they're usually closer to 25-30k.
Pros: reasonably solid
Cons: wear out faster than advertised
I changed from Hankook winter tires to Laufenn and in direct comparison they were rather bad in any condition other than heavy snow. (Noisier ,worse traction in dry and wet conditions)
Cons: Noisier, worse traction
I bought a certified mdx and the person who returned their lease threw a set of these on. When I need to stop short in wet conditions they slide drastically more than OEM Bridgestone’s. Even when it’s dry in the cold I don’t feel like I have grip.
Cons: slide in wet conditions
