Tires SUMITOMO or Laufenn

I am using laufen s fit as on my 2023 MY dual.. it cost me 108usd per /tire got it at AMERICAS TIRE. I agree woth others on foam padding but i am least bothered bout it. Performace wise i see no difference in regular day to day driving. Infact have performed well in snow as well.. i am happy with it running almost 2k miles till now.

I've been running a set of the latter AS in the snow and they've been great for an AS considering the conditions.

Check out Laufenn for tire options. They are Hankook’s economy line, and they are solid tires at an affordable price.

Shockingly fantastic in winter slop. I was expecting them to be bad compared to my Sumitomos. Nope. Even better in slop. 100% recommended. Great in the dry with very low noise and super highway tracking. Finally found the grail of cheap and awesome.

Sumitomo is a fantastic tire. I run their summer tires all year around ( In Texas, heavy sedan ) very stable at 85 mph+, quiet and stay planted.

Sumitomo tires wildly out perform their price tag. Have had them on a bunch of cars over the years and have never been unhappy about it.

Laufenn S fit AS is not bad, it is a hankook company and usually 1/3 the price of Pirelli with very similar performance.

Previously, Sumitomo P03 that I got rid of at 35k because LOUD. Otherwise durable and great in snow. A little unsettled at speed.

Laufenn provides far less grip, especially when wet.
