Tires Nexen or Laufenn
Been happy with my nexen winter tires so far, did great in snow last couple weeks
Pros: great in snow
we have the Nexen Roadian ATX and the older AT Pro RA8, and both of those are excellent all-weather tires and handle rain and snow with no issues.
Pros: excellent all-weather tires
Cons: older model
Excellent all weather tires... A generation newer than the CC2... More balanced overall, so although not quite as good in the snow, the suffer less from road noise and loss of fuel economy.
Pros: more balanced overall
Cons: not best in snow
I had a set of Nexen on a 2011 Honda Civic I had many, many, years ago. They were cheap, but still very good tires.
Pros: very good tires
Cons: were cheap

I have had Laufenn G Fit on my Honda Fit since this summer. They're Hankooks and fantastic. I wanted a low noise grand touring tire and these had pretty good reviews and I got them for about 85 bucks each a corner on sale and thought, this is a Pimp My Ride moment that I cannot give up. I mean I heard you liked Fits yo so I got you four G Fits for your Fit.
This Honda is a noisy car compared to most other modern cars and the previous Sumitomos roared with half the tread left. These new guys just sort of hum quietly and calmly and sometimes I don't even hear them on really good pavement. They are night and day better as far as comfort and noise.
The highway feel is amazing, they track really well and took away any squirliness of the car which it inherently has because it's rather lightweight. It feels like you're driving a little train, but it easily switches lanes when you need to. I don't feel like I need to correct as much when I'm at speed.
Criticisms you'll find online have to do with wet weather grip which I took pretty seriously by going out to some empty roads and trying to peel out and slide in a torrential downpour. I couldn't find any fault with them compared to the older tires.
Of course they might not be the right tires on something else like a big old German touring sedan. But on this 2500 lb Honda they are comically good for the price.
I like them so much I'm thinking about getting some for my CRV as well. I like them better than the Michelin Defender that were on a car that I just sold. Of course, I think the Michelin probably has longer tread wear, but as far as the driving feel these cheap tires are amazing.
Just a reminder, I'm talking about the G version and not the X or I think they make an s version too. But I assume they all have similar carcasses and compounds.
Pros: fantastic, low noise, amazing highway feel
Cons: wet weather grip
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Laufenn, I currently have those tires for my truck. Had them for 2 years so far and still plenty of tread left. Was also looking for a decent all weather tire and found this. Highly recommend.
Pros: plenty of tread left, decent tire
Sa kangoo-om na Laufenn Zimskim gumama bez problema i kroz 20-30cm snega. Sa Jazzom... Katastrofa.
Pros: bez problema kroz sneg
Cons: katastrofa sa Jazzom
I purchased a set of Laufenn for my '04 Pilot this summer. So far, so good. I don't expect them to perform like a Michelin, but that's okay for my soon-to-be 22-year-old daily driver.
Pros: so far, so good
Cons: not like Michelin
Vehicle:
Honda Pilot
Ho montato 2 anni fa 4 pnematici nexen 215/70 r 15 c 107-109 (8 tele) su camper motorizzato Ducato 2,3 mj e quest'anno sono saltate le tele su 3 pneumatici.
Uno di questi a veicolo fermo, mi sono reso conto dopo pochi metri dalla partenza dalle vibrazioni del volante, altri due su strada durante la marcia, l'ultimo si è proprio sgonfiato pericolosamente per il distacco del rivestimento interno.
Io comprerei altri marchi
Pros: vibrazioni del volante
Cons: saltate le tele su 3
For future viewers, I purchased Nexans for my 2018 cruze. They have been on for less than 20k miles and are almost bald already.
Pros: almost bald already
Cons: almost bald already
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Cruze
Mileage: 32187 km
