Tires Continental or Laufenn

Laufenn is budget brand of Hankook and get decent reviews.

Replaced them with a set of Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02s and I’ve been happy so far.

PS4S is the high water mark for Max performance summers for a long time. Competition has caught up. So much so I run the continental ECS02 since it’s a better deal, last longer and has nicer ride.

Get some conti dws. Great tires.

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.

NorCal Chassis Works in Fairfield is an excellent local shop that I have patronized in the past, and happens to be a TireRack recommended installer. I ordered 4 Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 in 225/40/18 and had them delivered to the shop.

I recently upgraded my pickup's tires to Laufenn tires and wanted to share my experience with the community. After extensive research and comparison shopping, I opted for Laufenn tires due to their affordable price point and promising reviews. Here's my take on these budget-friendly tires:

One of the standout features of Laufenn tires is their impressive performance on the road. Whether navigating through city streets or cruising on the highway, these tires offer a smooth and stable ride.

The traction on both wet and dry surfaces is commendable, providing a sense of security even during sudden maneuvers. I've noticed a significant improvement in cornering stability and braking distance compared to my old tires, which is crucial for safe driving.

Durability is another area where Laufenn tires excel. Despite their lower price tag, these tires are built to last. I've been using them for several months now, and they still look and perform like new.

The tread wear is minimal, which is a testament to their quality construction. This durability translates to excellent value for money, as I anticipate these tires will serve me well for many miles to come.

One pleasant surprise with Laufenn tires is their comfort level. Road noise is significantly reduced compared to my previous tires, making for a quieter and more enjoyable ride, especially on long journeys.

The tires absorb bumps and imperfections on the road effectively, enhancing overall comfort for both me and my passengers.

Perhaps the most appealing aspect of Laufenn tires is their affordability without compromising on quality. As someone who values both performance and cost-effectiveness, these tires offer a perfect balance.

They provide all the essential features you'd expect from premium tires at a fraction of the price, making them a smart choice for budget-conscious consumers.

Not AT, but as soon as I get another 10K on the stock tires, I'm switching to Continental DWS. Had them on my '14 Accord Sport stick, and they were fantastic in Snow, bet they're great with AWD.

I just bought these for my Y - time will tell. The continentals that were on here and didn’t wear so well. They were shot…. Hopefully I get a little more mileage out of these

Same thing happened to me with conti gp5000 after around a year. I replaced, but will move on to different brand and tire if it happens again in such a short period of time
