Tires Laufenn or ADVAN

Laufenn is hankook’s budget brand. The hankook 4s2 are a very similar tire and perform favorably vs the Michelin crossclimate, Bridgestone weatherpeak, and others. I would expect these to be similar.

I recently upgraded my pickup's tires to Laufenn tires and wanted to share my experience with the community. After extensive research and comparison shopping, I opted for Laufenn tires due to their affordable price point and promising reviews. Here's my take on these budget-friendly tires:

One of the standout features of Laufenn tires is their impressive performance on the road. Whether navigating through city streets or cruising on the highway, these tires offer a smooth and stable ride.

The traction on both wet and dry surfaces is commendable, providing a sense of security even during sudden maneuvers. I've noticed a significant improvement in cornering stability and braking distance compared to my old tires, which is crucial for safe driving.

Durability is another area where Laufenn tires excel. Despite their lower price tag, these tires are built to last. I've been using them for several months now, and they still look and perform like new.

The tread wear is minimal, which is a testament to their quality construction. This durability translates to excellent value for money, as I anticipate these tires will serve me well for many miles to come.

One pleasant surprise with Laufenn tires is their comfort level. Road noise is significantly reduced compared to my previous tires, making for a quieter and more enjoyable ride, especially on long journeys.

The tires absorb bumps and imperfections on the road effectively, enhancing overall comfort for both me and my passengers.

Perhaps the most appealing aspect of Laufenn tires is their affordability without compromising on quality. As someone who values both performance and cost-effectiveness, these tires offer a perfect balance.

They provide all the essential features you'd expect from premium tires at a fraction of the price, making them a smart choice for budget-conscious consumers.

"200TW" ADVAN NEOVA AD09 last me about 25,000 miles even with an LSD.

I did actually end up getting these tires and after a little more than a year I can say that they have performed extremely well, I’ve tested them in every weather condition except snow and have never had any issues, except that they can be loud at highway speeds.

I have had Lauffen summer tires for a year. I had no problems with these tires.

I have some Laufenn G fit. They work great for my application(sedan) in 3 seasons. Fairly priced and good mileage warranty (60,000 miles) they’re going on their second year and honestly still feel/ride like day 1.

Yes, they are good for the price. They last a while, but aren’t as grippy as other 200tw tires.

They do give great driver feedback due to stiff sidewalls, but this comes at the addition of road noise.

On track they come up to temp nice, and are gentle as they reach the edge of traction. They also don’t turn to ice when overheating, they just slowly start getting slippery.

Overall for the price, if you can only afford 1 set of tires, I’d recommend.

I currently use these tires. They're rated to last 60,000 miles but I don't think they lasted more than 30,000 or 2 years for me.

I have Advan V701s on my mr2 and for a 300 treadware they've got a ton of dry grip but they definitely struggle in the wet

Super late here but I have these on my Acura and they’re abysmal in wet and snow. Very, very little traction in even the lightest dusting of snow. They break free when going around corners dry and when it’s wet out they really go all over the place.
