Tires Laufenn or OEM Subaru

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've had Laufenn tyres and found them excellent.

Laufenn (produced by Hankook) serves me well. Bought 4 tires(205/50/16) from Hyperdrive for $600 2 years ago. Almost 20k on my honda jazz and still with heaps of thread left

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

....and I'll throw in another vote for the Continental DWS 06. Also relevant to this thread - I bought my '11 Range Rover Sport in January, and it had Laufenn tires, the cheapest option on Tire Rack in the proper size. They had plenty of tread life but they were not great - noisy, not a lot of grip in any conditions - so first excuse I had, I swapped on the Continentals, and they are substantially better at everything.
