I have the Falken Sincera SN250 A/S and looking on Tire Rack, they seem to be a direct upgrade to your Laufenns for about $10 more each. Might be worth a try. I've found them to be quiet and absorbing of bumps and road weirdness. Also lightweight feeling.

Pros: quiet, absorbs bumps, lightweight
Vehicle: Honda Fit

Continental Tires

Personally I prefer Continental a little more for the pricing to performance advantage they offer (admittedly subjective). You do still pay a little for the name but it's not as painful of an upcharge as Michelin and their comparable lines in my size are over $50/tire cheaper. Recently I even lucked out and they're preferable to my prior Defenders.

Pros: better price/performance, preferable to prior tires

I changed my tires to the non-OEM Wildpeak AT3W in size 285/75R18. Effectively 34" tall. No modifications/lift, only slight rub. Fuel economy is essentially unchanged with 75k kms in the larger tires. I didn't notice any significant difference in ride or noise. But I was much more pleased with the look of the tire filling out the wheel wells much better.

Pros: unchanged fuel economy, no ride/noise difference, improved look
Cons: slight rub
Mileage: 75000 km

The Continental Viking Contact 7 is the best winter tire I've ever driven on and the sneak peak I've had at the Viking Contact 8 looks like they've made it even better.

I like how little noise they make, their performance on both snow and ice, and how the treads don't fold over on one another.

Pros: little noise, good performance

Toyo EXTENSA A/S II, Michelin Defender 2, Continental TrueContact Tour, etc. These tires are all more or less the same idea, made to be affordable, quiet, efficient and generally average in every way with very marginal, just barely good enough winter performance to get a m+s rating.

Pros: affordable, quiet, efficient
Cons: marginal winter performance

I bought a brand new 2003 Toyota tundra TRD Pro with four 285/65- 18 tires and they are completely spent after 27,000 MI.  These tires are rated for $40 to 50,000 mi.... I would never buy these tires again

Pros: rated for high mileage
Cons: completely spent after 27000
Mileage: 43452 km
