Tires Laufenn or GISLAVED

Since I can't get Michelins in the sizes I run anymore, I've switched to Laufenn (by Hancook). It's German for "runner", they are inexpensive and initial performance is excellent.

I use laufen all season high performance and they have worked great

Something more cost savings are the Laufenn tires (made by Hankook) great “budget” tires!

That being said the tires are Laufenn S Fit AS. I must say after 2k miles on them I actually think they are great tires so far.

Gislaved tires. They are studded from the factory and made by Continental. They are at least 30% less cost than Nokians and nearly as good. I have had both and will buy the Gislaveds every time.

I use gislaved winter tires on my A4 and they have worked well for high speed highway driving and also wet winter roads. Full confidence in snowy conditions. I am going with the same on the OB.

Gislaved snow tires from Sweden. I've been driving 35 years and never felt so good!

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.

Gislaved is a Continental brand: they are OK-ish tires at best.

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.
