Tires Firestone or Laufenn

While not a 200tw tire the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 (340tw) not only costs significantly less but I've ran them with excellent grip on my WRX.

The original Winter Force tires are streets ahead of the Winter Force 2.

I like the set of firestone winterforce I just put on our XC70 this year so far. Took them out on snow/ice a few times so far and they feel like I would expect any dedicated winter tire to feel. What took me by surprise is how they drive in the dry... perfectly reasonable handling/braking and reasonable road noise for a winter tire. These actually handle and brake better in the dry than bridgestone weatherpeaks.

Another solid budget pick is the Firehawk Indy 500 (basically a baby Pilot Sport but cheaper). I ran them on my old Mk7 and they were awesome for daily + fun drives.

Indy500 - probably my favorite all around tire. Good looking tread, great dry grip, SUPERB wet grip, and also very quiet & comfortable

Firehawk Indy 500. They've been great and also really good grip in winter/rainy weather. I have about 26k miles on them with plenty of tread still. And they're cheap.

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.

Ja imam zimski i letnji set od 2023. - 195/65/15 na Peugeot 307. Ne mogu da kazem da su lose ... ali bih voleo da malo bolje upijaju sitne neravnine (da su malo mekse jelte), pogotovo zimski set.

1990s Ford Explorer were pretty solid except for the pesky factory installed Firestone tires that would blow out at speed.

A Laufenn tire may be made by Hankook, but it isn't the quality level of Hankook and isn't just the same tire with a different name on the side of it. I heard a Hankook rep joke he wouldn't put Laufenn tires on his ex-wifes car because they were just that bad.
