Tires Laufenn or DEXTER
I have Laufenn G Fit, also a Hankook value brand made in Indonesia. They're fantastic on my small 2600# Honda. But I also waited 200 miles to check wet traction on an empty road and it was fine. My tires were also rated horrible in the rain. With a break in I cant find fault in normal driving.
Pros: fantastic, fine wet traction
Vehicle:
Honda
Laufenns are great. I run G fit AS year round in the snow on both of our cars.
Pros: great performance, year-round use
Moje iskustvo sa setom letnjih, tri godine, sasvim sam zadovoljan.To nije Bridžston ali su i duplo jeftinije...Zimske set jedna sezona, nije bilo mnogo snega, zadovoljan. Preporučujem.
Pros: sasvim sam zadovoljan
Cons: nije Bridžston
I worked as a tyre fitter and wheel alignment mechanic for quite a number of years and those Laufenn would be by far the best and are actually quite good tyres. Have them on my BMW.
Pros: quite good tires
Vehicle:
BMW
Laufenn if you can afford it, these use the old patterns from Hankook and are essentially a sister company to them. I deal with tyres daily and would rate these above any of the other options you've been pushed towards.
Pros: above other options
I went from Falken Wildpeak AT Trail to these DAT 1’s. Look very similar. My rears were $91. My fronts not on sale will be $102. The Wildpeaks in 2020 were $126, now $215. So cheap shit for me it is! But they look good and get me to work.
Pros: look good
Cons: cheap
They are both average cheap chinese tires. The performance is ok for the price
Pros: ok performance for price
Cons: average cheap tires
Ive had a set of 245/65/17's on the rear of my Dakota for about 4 to 5 years now. They are decent for a budget tire but don't expect them to be on par with the likes of Goodyear, BF, etc.. In my experience, there down fall is mileage. Mine have worn even and ride nice, dry traction is very good & wet traction can be questionable.
Pros: dry traction is good
Cons: mileage is a downfall
Vehicle:
Dodge Dakota
Mileage: 20000 km
I have them on my sti. Theyre good on concrete and okay in rain. However absolutely trash on snow/ice. No grip around corners resulting in sliding not to mention having to be gentle and brake early.
Pros: good on concrete, okay in rain
Cons: trash on snow/ice, no grip
Vehicle:
Subaru
I have Laufenn here on my Passat I got from Carmax and today I finally checked the DOT number to see how old they are cause I wanted to replace them already due to me thinking they were old af and needed replacement. Well turns out they are 3 years old and perform so bad that the car slips even on dry asphalt.
Cons: slips on dry asphalt
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
