Tires Goodyear or Laufenn

My car came with laufenn winter tires. I was initially a bit disappointed as I never heard that brand before but after research, realized they are a sub brand of Hankook, manufacturer of quality tires. The winter tires i have are really good, even in heavy snow never felt a loss of traction. Also pretty quiet.

We've been running the WeatherReady 2's for almost a year on our Santa Fe, in a variety of road conditions, dry, wet, snowy. I've been very satisfied with them.

If you only occasionally go off road or encounter mud and snow, and 85% of your miles are pavement, I'd recommend one of the other two. I have run the Wranglers on my XJ, I currently have the KO2 on my WJ and my Excursion. I'd say the Wrangler handles mud slightly better than the KO2, but the KO2 handles rain, ice, and snow better on the road. Basically, the Wrangler will help you get out of a ditch a little easier, but the KO2 will help you stay out of one to begin with.

Goodyear wranglers. Good tread and not too loud or rough on the road, and they weren't too expensive when I got them 5 years ago.

Goodyear Assurance MaxLife - 225/55R19 99V Tire from Sams Club. $800 installed ($100 off). In NYS 60 miles north of NYC.

I’ve had my set for a few years and I have no complaints. I’ve had no issues getting around in snow with them.

I'm running the F1 Supercar 3 (not the R). If you're like me and just trying to have a little fun going around the turns, unconcerned about being passed by Miatas, go with the 3's.

Supercar 3Rs were designed to go with the ZLE, when I drove them I would get onto the track at 29psi. A lap and a half ish I would hit 30psi and that’s when it was go time. After 36psi they’ll start to fall off but that was generally about the time a 20 minute session ended.

Every Goodyear tire I have owned was pure shit. A set of Ling Longs would have been better. So premium price, not premium tire?

i've run efficientgrip cargo on the front of a small isuzu lorry (think half ton pickup-sized in yank equivalents) and they were also chipped to hell. 100% urban/highway use. they just do that.
