Tires Firestone or Laufenn

Firestone Tires

I've had a FWD Corolla for 12 years and it has gotten me through the worst kind of storms in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and here in NL with Firestone Winterforce tires. I swear by them! I've gotten through conditions in snow storms that even big jacked up 4 wheel drive trucks got stuck in.

Pros: gotten through worst storms

Laufenn Tires

The Laufenn S Fit tires are an absolute steal at $108 each. Laufenn is the budget line made by Hankook, a South Korean tire company. These particular tires are manufactured in Indonesia. I bought them with confidence. I expect to get at least as much out of our new Laufenns.

Pros: excellent value, good quality

I've been pretty happy with the cost/benefit of Firestone Indyhawk/Indy500/whatever they're calling them these days, on the stock wheels. They don't last long (I get 10-15k miles out of a set) but they're damn cheap ($650-$750), and break traction quite easily and predictably, if you enjoy going a little sideways often. I usually am running the Flying Miata alignment specs with these tires break loose fantastically easily and enjoyable for me on that alignment. On a factory alignment though they are reasonably grippy for spirited street driving. Again though the biggest benefit of them is they are super widely available (because Firestone) and CHEAP.

Pros: good cost/benefit, predictable traction, widely available, cheap, reasonably grippy
Cons: don't last long
Vehicle: Mazda
Mileage: 16093 km

Very happy with Firestone Destination XT. As quiet as all seasons, great snow traction more than decent offroad

Pros: very quiet, great snow traction, decent off-road

I have done both FireHawk and G Max and been impressed with comfort. Way better than the OEM continentals that it came with, and much cheaper than Michelin.

Pros: impressed with comfort, cheaper

I had the Firehawk Indy 500 from Firestone on, and they we're great. Lot's of grip going around corners and still felt very secure during heavy rain. I paid around 900 for a set of four on my 18 inch wheels.

Pros: lots of grip, secure in rain
Vehicle: Mazda 6

Firestone fire hawks. But the ride is perfect and so is the handling with those tires, for me at least. I have continentals currently, and I much prefer the Firehawks.

Pros: perfect ride, perfect handling

These are the worst tires I've ever used. At 8000 miles they needed to be replaced. All four tires had even wear they're not worth the price that Firestone charges for them.

Cons: worst tires, needed replacement
Mileage: 8000 km
