Tires Laufenn or GISLAVED

I run a similar Laufenn on my 1 tonne work truck as my winter set up and they have been excellent. I actually have Laufenn on my sport truck, wifes mini cooper s and my work truck. All have been great. Good traction and well wearing.

I have Hakka R5 on my GTI and Gislaved on my Golf SW.  Both have been excellent for me and my needs.

I have the LT Lauffens on my Truck. Drive gravel daily. Same set now for 3+ years. Had passenger tires before and was getting constant flats. I have had zero flats since getting these. Could not recommend this brand enough.

Laufenn is budget brand of Hankook and get decent reviews.

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.

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,d trust a Laufen over an arroyo based on the overall treads, though typically the arroyos will last a little bit longer.

First hand experience having had two sets to Laufenn tyres…

They were good for the money and I could not tell much difference between them and the Michelin Pilot Sports I had on there before which were very expensive and didn’t last long.

I rented a car that had Laufenn tires last month. Drove for 20 minutes and had a blowout on both passenger side tires. This was driving on city streets!
