vs
Tires Uniroyal or Laufenn
on my 2015 I am riding in a set of Uniroyal AS Tiger paw 225 / 45 / R18. I really like them. I bought them new on eBay with stickers for about $600 (4) and had them mounted and balanced for $200.
Pros: really like them
We have a base model with no snow mode, but I've had a set of Uniroyal Tiger Paw "Ice & Snow 3"'s on for the last few Winters, and they performed pretty well. I never felt unsafe, even driving through some pretty sketchy stuff.
Pros: performed pretty well
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I ended up getting an Uniroyal summer tire for it as it was considerably cheaper than the Conti. Anyway, from tests I gathered that it is supposed to be top tier in wet condition and mid at best in dry. I have used for over a year now as my situation changed and ended up keeping the Corolla for the time being. I used it around 15k km so far in wide variety conditions, from 0 Celsius up to 40 and so far have zero issues. There is no sign of wear and tear, thread is still deep, no dry rot and driving never felt unsafe or had any other issues.
Pros: top tier in wet
Cons: mid in dry condition
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Mileage: 15000 km
I have the LT Lauffens on my Truck. Drive gravel daily. Same set now for 3+ years. Had passenger tires before and was getting constant flats. I have had zero flats since getting these. Could not recommend this brand enough.
Pros: zero flats, excellent tires
Laufenn is budget brand of Hankook and get decent reviews.
Pros: decent reviews
Laufenn is hankook’s budget brand. The hankook 4s2 are a very similar tire and perform favorably vs the Michelin crossclimate, Bridgestone weatherpeak, and others. I would expect these to be similar.
Pros: performs favorably
Where I live there are grooves cut in the highway and Uniroyal tires are particularly susceptible to tracking on those grooves. Otherwise I’ve had pretty good luck with them.
Pros: pretty good luck
Cons: susceptible to tracking
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 checked my car tires and they are Laufenn. My ride quality is quite bumpy and shaky.
Cons: bumpy and shaky ride
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
I got the cheapest snow tires possible for my first set, Uniroyal TigerPaw on Steelies. They suck on dry pavement. I had to floor it on a turn from a standstill as I realized someone was doing 80+ through the light I was taking a left at. Ive never had all four tires spin on dry pavement in any subaru Ive owned.
Pros: cheapest snow tires possible
Cons: suck on dry pavement
Vehicle:
Subaru
