Tires OEM BMW or Laufenn
"LAUFENN S Fit AS" is my favorite for my M3. This is a subsidiary of Hancook.
Pros: my favorite
Vehicle:
BMW
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 use laufen all season high performance and they have worked great
Pros: worked great
Something more cost savings are the Laufenn tires (made by Hankook) great “budget” tires!
Pros: great budget tires
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
HD thrust arms are an improvement without too much sacrifice. Better shocks as well. I’ve found tires make a huge difference with the E39.
Pros: huge difference with tires
Vehicle:
BMW
Narrow, low-profile tires aren't as forgiving over potholes, especially when riding on the 20" wheels.
Cons: not forgiving over potholes
Vehicle:
BMW
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
They’re a mid tier tire brand. They’re not the best nor the worst. However, if you want a better recommendation that’s mid tier but in my opinion a lot better, get Laufenn tires.
Pros: better mid tier tires
Cons: not the best
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
I checked my car tires and they are Laufenn. My ride quality is quite bumpy and shaky.
Cons: bumpy and shaky ride
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
