vs
Tires Laufenn or GISLAVED
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've had Gislaved Nordfrost 200...My favorites were the Gislaved and will be getting new ones this year.
Pros: favorites, getting new ones
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
pērku vidējo galu no Laufenn un esmu apmierināts. Bieži riepas nav jāmaina, skaļas neliekas. Esmu apmierināts.
Pros: nav skaļas, apmierināts
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
For a good balance of LONG wear and good grip I've been getting Gislaved NordFrosts. Those things seriously take four winters of high mileage, mostly bare pavement commuting to wear out.
Pros: long wear, good grip, durable
Laufenns are great. I run G fit AS year round in the snow on both of our cars.
Pros: great performance, year-round use
I have Laufenn G-Fit AS installed on my Galant. Madulas sya in my experience
Cons: Madulas sya
Vehicle:
Mitsubishi Galant
Laufenn is a cheap err, I mean, budget tire. Nothing wrong with that, just align your expectations accordingly.
Cons: budget quality, lower expectations
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
