Tires Laufenn or Kleber
Kleber quadraxer all season. Fara probleme perioada asta pe zapada. Am testat si pe gheata sticla, pe o aleea intre case, am putut porni, accelera la 20, frana tare de la 20 cu oprire as zice ok.
Pros: Fara probleme pe zapada
Change the tires, you probably have turanzas, which are terribly stiff and hard.
I managed to put up with them for 10,000 km.
I switched to Kleber all-season tires and it’s more comfortable, and interestingly - much quieter.
Pros: more comfortable, much quieter
Cons: terribly stiff, hard
Mileage: 10000 km
Discount Tire. I got Laufenn G-Fit that I've been really pleased with. They actually sold my tires to somebody else by accident so I had to come back after 2 days to have them installed and they waved all of the install fees. So I got a full set of tires with warranty for $385 including tax and fees.
Pros: pleased with these tires
Kleber Quadraxer 3 and BFGoodrich Advantage All Season are also made by the Michelin group, as second tier brands, and they have a similar performance profile to the Cross Climate 2 as they have very strong winter performance.
Pros: strong winter performance
I have had Laufenn G Fit on my Honda Fit since this summer. They're Hankooks and fantastic. I wanted a low noise grand touring tire and these had pretty good reviews and I got them for about 85 bucks each a corner on sale and thought, this is a Pimp My Ride moment that I cannot give up. I mean I heard you liked Fits yo so I got you four G Fits for your Fit.
This Honda is a noisy car compared to most other modern cars and the previous Sumitomos roared with half the tread left. These new guys just sort of hum quietly and calmly and sometimes I don't even hear them on really good pavement. They are night and day better as far as comfort and noise.
The highway feel is amazing, they track really well and took away any squirliness of the car which it inherently has because it's rather lightweight. It feels like you're driving a little train, but it easily switches lanes when you need to. I don't feel like I need to correct as much when I'm at speed.
Criticisms you'll find online have to do with wet weather grip which I took pretty seriously by going out to some empty roads and trying to peel out and slide in a torrential downpour. I couldn't find any fault with them compared to the older tires.
Of course they might not be the right tires on something else like a big old German touring sedan. But on this 2500 lb Honda they are comically good for the price.
I like them so much I'm thinking about getting some for my CRV as well. I like them better than the Michelin Defender that were on a car that I just sold. Of course, I think the Michelin probably has longer tread wear, but as far as the driving feel these cheap tires are amazing.
Just a reminder, I'm talking about the G version and not the X or I think they make an s version too. But I assume they all have similar carcasses and compounds.
Pros: fantastic, low noise, amazing highway feel
Cons: wet weather grip
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Laufenn, I currently have those tires for my truck. Had them for 2 years so far and still plenty of tread left. Was also looking for a decent all weather tire and found this. Highly recommend.
Pros: plenty of tread left, decent tire
I just put on some Laufenn G Fit tires in August that I got for quietness but get poor wet weather ratings from *some* reviewers. I tested them in slop and could only activate ABS with a very hard stomp or traction control on a painted line.
Pros: quietness
Cons: poor wet weather ratings
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Sa kangoo-om na Laufenn Zimskim gumama bez problema i kroz 20-30cm snega. Sa Jazzom... Katastrofa.
Pros: bez problema kroz sneg
Cons: katastrofa sa Jazzom
Laufenn sam imao isto i hoce da proklizaju na ledu.
Cons: proklizaju na ledu
These are pretty much done you’re almost at the wear bars, and the outside shoulder is already going bald. They’ll still roll, but grip in rain is going to be noticeably worse, especially under braking.
Pros: still roll
Cons: grip in rain worse
