Tires SUMITOMO or Laufenn

I got around well with Summos in the winter on my Mazda 2

I just bought these for my Model Y, partly because they were priced at $108/each. I think it's an outstanding deal. I'll happily run my Laufenns.

Neighbor has Laufenn X Fit and I have G Fit and we're totally pleased with this Hankook sub brand in middle TN. Really quiet tires as Hankooks tend to be. Mostly excellent reviews on tire rack but a few folks claimed they were horrific in wet. So I went out on soaked roads and a parking lot and tested them and it took really heroic maneuvers that I never do to get as much as a chirp.

I have Sumitomo Encounter ATs that I like pretty well. On road manners are great and no complaints off-road. They don't look as "cool" as some of the other ATs but they work just as well.

The Laufenn S Fit tires are an absolute steal at $108 each. Laufenn is the budget line made by Hankook, a South Korean tire company. These particular tires are manufactured in Indonesia. I bought them with confidence. I expect to get at least as much out of our new Laufenns.

I got about 30k miles on sumitomos 285/75/16 snow rated, AT. They’ve been solid

Sumitomo and Falken are grippy and good but get loud as hell after a while.

I have Laufenn G-Fit AS installed on my Galant. Madulas sya in my experience

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.

I have Laufenn here on my Passat I got from Carmax and today I finally checked the DOT number to see how old they are cause I wanted to replace them already due to me thinking they were old af and needed replacement. Well turns out they are 3 years old and perform so bad that the car slips even on dry asphalt.
