Tires Laufenn or Kormoran
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
Pretty much all of those tyres are decent, I use Laufenn Z and S series (which are made by Hankook) on the back of 2 of my high performance cars as I was getting sick of paying pilot sport or eagle money too regularly and they are honestly comparable.
Pros: comparable to pilot sport
Cons: paying pilot sport money
I've run laufenn on a newish golf and they're decent.
Quiet, decent lifespan well priced.
Tyre ship guy told me they're owned by Hankook, kind of a Lexus Toyota thing i.e not brand new tech/materials and maybe a previous tread pattern.
Been happy with them and will keep using them.
Pros: Quiet, decent lifespan
Cons: not brand new tech
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Now I am running Laufeen with summer dunlops and I am blown away!
Laufeen has been the best tires I have had. I am about 15k miles in and they feel just as good as they did day on, if not better!
Pros: best tires, feel great
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 15000 km
I've had Laufenn tyres and found them excellent.
Pros: found them excellent
Laufenn (produced by Hankook) serves me well. Bought 4 tires(205/50/16) from Hyperdrive for $600 2 years ago. Almost 20k on my honda jazz and still with heaps of thread left
Pros: heaps of thread left
Vehicle:
Honda Jazz
Mileage: 20000 km
I have Laufenn (came with car). Ok tyre but uniroyal is much better.
Pros: ok tyre
Cons: uniroyal is much better
Just got 4 installed last Friday. This morning on the way to work I started to hear what I’d describe as a winding sound. Only when going slow, like under 20mph. I’m wondering if it’s just a “new tire sound” but none of any other new tires have I ever heard it.
Cons: winding sound, only slow
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
Vehicle:
Acura MDX
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
