Tires Kumho or Laufenn

I am using laufen s fit as on my 2023 MY dual.. it cost me 108usd per /tire got it at AMERICAS TIRE. I agree woth others on foam padding but i am least bothered bout it. Performace wise i see no difference in regular day to day driving. Infact have performed well in snow as well.. i am happy with it running almost 2k miles till now.

Swapped the 21’s and summer tires off my summit reserve for 18” XDs and Kumho Venture with a 3 peak mountain snowflake rating. Had 10” of snow and didn’t bat an eye in snow mode.

Kumho - superior value and great handling.

Kumho ecsta sport S. Huge improvement

I got 275 and use to have pirellis now I got kumhos they don’t spin as much as the pirellis from a straight dig I use to fish tail hard when my foot was deep in the pedal I recommend kumhos and falkens they straight

I've been running a set of the latter AS in the snow and they've been great for an AS considering the conditions.

On my last car Michelin Pilot Sport 4S lasted ~20k but that's kind of expected due to how soft they are. On my current I have Kumho Ecsta Sport and they have lasted about the same but instead of wear being the issue they're cracking/tearing.

Laufenn S fit AS is not bad, it is a hankook company and usually 1/3 the price of Pirelli with very similar performance.

Laufenn provides far less grip, especially when wet.

Boils my piss when I see people walking into tyre shops and just asking for the cheapest they have. It vaporises my shit when it's clearly a family car with child seats in the back. Why would you cheap out on keeping your kids safe?
