Tires Laufenn or GOODRIDGE

I worked as a tyre fitter and wheel alignment mechanic for quite a number of years and those Laufenn would be by far the best and are actually quite good tyres. Have them on my BMW.

Laufenn if you can afford it, these use the old patterns from Hankook and are essentially a sister company to them. I deal with tyres daily and would rate these above any of the other options you've been pushed towards.

Pretty much all of those tyres are decent, I use Laufenn Z and S series (which are made by Hankook) on the back of 2 of my high performance cars as I was getting sick of paying pilot sport or eagle money too regularly and they are honestly comparable.

I've run laufenn on a newish golf and they're decent.

Quiet, decent lifespan well priced.

Tyre ship guy told me they're owned by Hankook, kind of a Lexus Toyota thing i.e not brand new tech/materials and maybe a previous tread pattern.

Been happy with them and will keep using them.

Now I am running Laufeen with summer dunlops and I am blown away!

Laufeen has been the best tires I have had. I am about 15k miles in and they feel just as good as they did day on, if not better!

I seem to get 45k km from each full set of Goodride SA07s (215/45/ZR17). This is on a Subaru Legacy that spends most of its time above 80kph.

I have Laufenn (came with car). Ok tyre but uniroyal is much better.

Just got 4 installed last Friday. This morning on the way to work I started to hear what I’d describe as a winding sound. Only when going slow, like under 20mph. I’m wondering if it’s just a “new tire sound” but none of any other new tires have I ever heard it.

I bought a certified mdx and the person who returned their lease threw a set of these on. When I need to stop short in wet conditions they slide drastically more than OEM Bridgestone’s. Even when it’s dry in the cold I don’t feel like I have grip.

I have them on my sti. Theyre good on concrete and okay in rain. However absolutely trash on snow/ice. No grip around corners resulting in sliding not to mention having to be gentle and brake early.
