Tires Laufenn or OEM Honda
Laufenn is a budget brand of Hankook, a reputable tire manufacturer headquartered in South Korea. These are the tires I recently ordered for my Model Y. They're black, round, and also have a treadwear rating of 500.
Pros: black, round, treadwear rating 500
Personally I went up one tire profile (from 225/50R17 to 235/55R17) and now my Speedo is GPS accurate ± 0.5kmh
Pros: Speedo is GPS accurate
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
I just bought these for my Model Y, partly because they were priced at $108/each. I think it's an outstanding deal. I'll happily run my Laufenns.
Pros: outstanding value
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
They are both average cheap chinese tires. The performance is ok for the price
Pros: ok performance for price
Cons: average cheap tires
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 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
