Tires SUMITOMO or Laufenn

Run them on my personal vehicles and rental vehicles. 10-15k per year and see no issue. They easily last the 50k warranty. They balance well, and install easily, good bead that sets properly and has no issues

I ran sumitomo htr z5 for a few years and liked them a lot (summer/perf). Currently on vredestein quattrac pro which is more of an all season sport touring, and meh, I like them and they're great at what they are but I miss having performance tires in the summer.

I bought Laufenn for my Cadillac XT5. So Quiet & So smooth , just what I wanted.

Sumitomo Encounter ATs are hands down the best bang for the buck.

Just got a set on my winter stock wheels about a week ago now. I love the look. I'm currently running Sumitomo Ice Edge tires in the size 245/25/18. I previously had a set of Blizzarks (245/40/18) and can't really feel any significant difference in performance with the taller sidewall.

I received and installed a set of 4 Laufenn X Fit HP tires for my '18 Odyssey today. On my 38-mile commute back home, tires are smooth, and noise is normal to very low.

First hand experience having had two sets to Laufenn tyres…

They were good for the money and I could not tell much difference between them and the Michelin Pilot Sports I had on there before which were very expensive and didn’t last long.

I have these tires on my 2017 chevy express nice tires for summer but useless when the show falls no traction

Laufenn tires are generally pretty lousy. They're cheap, but that's about the only good thing that can be said about them. They can suffer from poor quality control in manufacturing and wear out fast.

Super late here but I have these on my Acura and they’re abysmal in wet and snow. Very, very little traction in even the lightest dusting of snow. They break free when going around corners dry and when it’s wet out they really go all over the place.
