Tires OEM Toyota or Laufenn

Laufenn Tires

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.

Pros: inexpensive, excellent initial performance

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.

Pros: great tires
Mileage: 2000 km

OEM Toyota Tires

Mine is so great in the city, can whip a U-turn anywhere and gets 30-35 MPG no matter how you drive it. I am kind of sad you can't get cars like this anymore, but it is kind of hard to justify when something that's an order of magnitude more refined is only like $1500 more. But there is something fun about ripping around in something 153" long that only weighs 2300 lbs. It never needs brakes and doesn't eat up tires no matter how "spiritedly" I drive.

Pros: great in the city, fun
Cons: small, unrefined

I drive a Prius and it handles fine in winter. Although it burns more fuel during winter because of the heating. Only thing I would strongly suggest is getting a quality set of winter tires. Only time it struggled was getting up that steep incline on King Edward after Rideau on glare ice..during rush hour. I still made it just fine while other gas powered cars were spinning their wheels.

Pros: handles fine in winter
Cons: burns more fuel

Laufenn Tires

They’re a mid tier tire brand. They’re not the best nor the worst. However, if you want a better recommendation that’s mid tier but in my opinion a lot better, get Laufenn tires.

Pros: better mid tier tires
Cons: not the best

I have a st of Laufenns on my old beater Outback. So far, they seem to be ok for routine commuting. Are they performance tires? Heck no, but they do what I need them to do on dry roads and wet ones.

Pros: ok for routine commuting
Cons: not performance tires
