Tires Laufenn or RIKEN
Me and my neighbor really like our Laufenn tires which are made by Hankook.
Pros: well priced
Laufenn ice fits are a great tire
Pros: great tire
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
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
Laufenn is a cheap err, I mean, budget tire. Nothing wrong with that, just align your expectations accordingly.
Cons: budget quality, lower expectations
Laufenn is a budget division of a budget/mid range brand (hankook) so the overall longevity and quality of the tire maybe isnt the same as higher end brands like michelin, continental or pirelli.
Cons: lower longevity, lower quality
I have some rikens as my non-race tires for the c4. They're fine.
Pros: fine performance
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Corvette C4
I changed from Hankook winter tires to Laufenn and in direct comparison they were rather bad in any condition other than heavy snow. (Noisier ,worse traction in dry and wet conditions)
Cons: Noisier, worse traction
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
