Tires Tesla or Laufenn
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
My car came with laufenn winter tires. I was initially a bit disappointed as I never heard that brand before but after research, realized they are a sub brand of Hankook, manufacturer of quality tires. The winter tires i have are really good, even in heavy snow never felt a loss of traction. Also pretty quiet.
Pros: really good, pretty quiet
Cons: never heard that brand
my tesla.. never have had any issues and ive had it for 3 years. I replaced the tires once.. thats it
Pros: no issues, reliable
For the 2023 MYP I have, I mean… No real maintenance aside from the tires and windshield wiper fluids.
Haven’t had to change brakes or battery so far. No major rattles.
Pros: no major rattles, rock solid
I've had my model 3 for 7 years now and the only thing I've ever done is change tires
Pros: only changed tires
I have a 225/55/ZR17 Laufenn S FIT A/S tires. I came from Continental pure contact LS and to be honest, I haven't noticed any difference.
Pros: no noticeable difference
Mine are around 3.5/32 and 4.5/32 with 35k miles. Probably going to change them in a few thousands more.
Pros: good mileage
Cons: low thread depth
Mileage: 35000 km
Tires are a joke! I had a flat on a 2026 Juniper model and they gave me a reservation for three weeks out! I went to a discount tire bought their road hazard warranty for three years for $29 a tire done ✅ canceled my Tesla one plus I get faster service
Pros: faster service
Cons: slow service, joke
I needed new tires *ridiculously* fast, as the OEM set's treads wore out at an absurd rate. I honestly think I had a bad set, because even the tire guys who replaced them were shocked at how bad, and *inconsistent*, the wear was on 1-year-old tires. I got a 40% discount on them due to the warranty, but they were still $700.
Pros: warranty discount
Cons: tires wore out fast, inconsistent wear
