Reviews
I am using laufen s fit as on my 2023 MY dual.. it cost me 108usd per /tire got it at AMERICAS TIRE. I agree woth others on foam padding but i am least bothered bout it. Performace wise i see no difference in regular day to day driving. Infact have performed well in snow as well.. i am happy with it running almost 2k miles till now.
Pros: performed well in snow
Cons: foam padding bothered
Mileage: 3218 km

I've been running a set of the latter AS in the snow and they've been great for an AS considering the conditions.
Pros: great in snow, affordable quality
Check out Laufenn for tire options. They are Hankook’s economy line, and they are solid tires at an affordable price.
Pros: solid tires, affordable price
Laufenn is well regarded as a practical option.

Laufenn S fit AS is not bad, it is a hankook company and usually 1/3 the price of Pirelli with very similar performance.
Pros: similar performance
Cons: not bad

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
Laufenn provides far less grip, especially when wet.
Cons: less grip, especially wet
Two things:
1. That is a straight MOT failure because it's dangerous.
2. Your choice is to replace the tyre today, or the wheel **and** the tyre tomorrow.
Cons: straight MOT failure
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
