Tires YOKOHAMA or Laufenn
I worked as a tyre fitter and wheel alignment mechanic for quite a number of years and those Laufenn would be by far the best and are actually quite good tyres. Have them on my BMW.
Laufenn if you can afford it, these use the old patterns from Hankook and are essentially a sister company to them. I deal with tyres daily and would rate these above any of the other options you've been pushed towards.
Pretty much all of those tyres are decent, I use Laufenn Z and S series (which are made by Hankook) on the back of 2 of my high performance cars as I was getting sick of paying pilot sport or eagle money too regularly and they are honestly comparable.
I've run laufenn on a newish golf and they're decent.
Quiet, decent lifespan well priced.
Tyre ship guy told me they're owned by Hankook, kind of a Lexus Toyota thing i.e not brand new tech/materials and maybe a previous tread pattern.
Been happy with them and will keep using them.
Now I am running Laufeen with summer dunlops and I am blown away!
Laufeen has been the best tires I have had. I am about 15k miles in and they feel just as good as they did day on, if not better!
We always buy Yokohamas: been running on them for 30 years.
I’m running on Yokohama’s. The road-grab, is excellent
I had the Yokohama Bluearth es32 for 5 years. Grabe mag chipping yan so take that into account. It's a known issue with how the model is manufactured.
The es32 is a good tyre, good performance, talagang chipping lang nakaka dismaya. (tyres are regularly checked, car wheel is well aligned, rotated every 6 mos)
I hate them. Awful in rain and snow.
I rented a car that had Laufenn tires last month. Drove for 20 minutes and had a blowout on both passenger side tires. This was driving on city streets!
