Tires Laufenn or FULDA
Something more cost savings are the Laufenn tires (made by Hankook) great “budget” tires!
That being said the tires are Laufenn S Fit AS. I must say after 2k miles on them I actually think they are great tires so far.
I imported my e36 from Germany and it had this max 190KM/h sticker from Fulda tires. I thought that was odd but appearantly it's a thing.
Got all 4 for 250€ with almost new Fulda tires on it, that was a steal in my eyes - had to get them. They are Fondmetal 5700 in ET38, 195/50/R15.
The sumitomos are no longer available. I found a website that has some Fulda's and Continentals in the size we like. They are more expensive, but better than the sumies.
Fulda\u00b4s are the best tires you can get here for ultra low cost , but most vW people in Germany dislike Fulda\u00b4s .... they prefer spending 100\u00b4s of euros for Dunlop\u00b4s which i don\u00b4t like. I always buy Fulda\u00b4s or Continental\u00b4s...
Of course if this is a street car, and comfort is required and you dont drive like I do a set of all seasons in 205 like a fulda assuro on a 7 inch wide wheel will give you sufficient grip for the street. Cleats for the snow if you have to do that too, and they're pretty smooth over bumps...
They are ATP Magnum Elegance (9,5 x 18) with Fulda Tramp 4x4 Yukon (255/55/18).
I have a st of Laufenns on my old beater Outback. So far, they seem to be ok for routine commuting. Are they performance tires? Heck no, but they do what I need them to do on dry roads and wet ones.
