vs
Tires Laufenn or Shinko
Since I can't get Michelins in the sizes I run anymore, I've switched to Laufenn (by Hancook). It's German for "runner", they are inexpensive and initial performance is excellent.
Pros: inexpensive, excellent initial performance
I have shinko 805/804s, they are pretty identical to the 606s, and I absolutely love them. If you balance them well they ride good at 75mph, and handle dirt fantastic.
Pros: handle dirt fantastic
I switched to the shinko 244 front and have loved the d606 rear combo. It dives into the corners on the road and will give you about 80% confidence on the dirt.
Pros: dives into the corners
I use laufen all season high performance and they have worked great
Pros: worked great
Ran a set of 777s on my sportster and they are great tires ! Was very happy with them.
Pros: great tires
Something more cost savings are the Laufenn tires (made by Hankook) great “budget” tires!
Pros: great budget tires
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
That being said the tires are Laufenn S Fit AS. I must say after 2k miles on them I actually think they are great tires so far.
Pros: great tires
Mileage: 2000 km
I have a st of Laufenns on my old beater Outback. So far, they seem to be ok for routine commuting. Are they performance tires? Heck no, but they do what I need them to do on dry roads and wet ones.
Pros: ok for routine commuting
Cons: not performance tires
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
