Laufenn  S FIT AS

I am a bit of a car enthusiast, and as such, like to push my car hard in different environments. These tires are amazing for the price. My car is FWD, and these tires really help eliminate understeer at speed. Even when cornering hard, there's been almost no noticeable understeer. I plan on getting a set of these for my Evolution VIII, I like them that much! As far as snow and wet traction goes, these are still solid performers. there is some hydro planning/understeer if you push too hard in the corners, but regular driving, the car is gripping with all its might. All in all, this a fantastic tire for the price you pay. highly recommended for someone on a budget!

I have had two new Galant's and each come with the Goodyear Eagle RS/A. Wet traction with the Eagle was dangerous after 10,000 miles. I have a new driver in my family and decided to swap these out even though there was plenty of tread. I was concerned about Laufeen because there were no reatings for it anywhere. I found that Hankook created a new brand of "No frills" tires at a reasonable price. I bought four and am amazed at how the S FIT AS XL handles in the rain. I can make turns in wet weather that would have landed me on a guard rail just two months ago on the Eagles. I purposely hit a puddle on a straight piece of road and there was none of the hydroplaning. The tire is much quieter than the Eagle but it does have a strange (but not annoying) singing sound (nothing like the stone crusher sound of the Eagles). I had to hit the brakes hard and was so surprised at how quickly the car stopped. The Eagles would have caused the ABS to step in but the Laufeen's just wrestled the Galant to a stop. The ride is so much smoother that my kids even spoke up about it. Not only are the jitters the Eagles created gone but bumps in the road have disappeared.

I will say, though, that on a dry day - the Eagles would have outrun the S Fit because of the abuse they could take in cornering but the S Fit would catch up on the straightaway because you need far less input to keep the car going straight.

I am anxious to see how these wear and what other types of tires Laufeen will bring out next (this is it's first tire from the new factory in the USA) so I can put them on our Van and Jetta. I love this tire. Give it a shot. I know its scary purchasing a tire on its first time out but you will be very happy.

I absolutely love this tire.

I did not buy these tires, the dealer installed them on our used Renegade. I was not pleased and figured I'd replace them shortly with something "good". Instead, I will be keeping them.

I've driven them on dry, wet, snow and ice and they are good tires, not just for the remarkable price, but good tires period. The Renegade was not purchased for performance driving (we have other vehicles for that), but with the Laufenn S FIT AS tires it can be pushed quite hard in corners and is a lot of fun. Wet roads are uninteresting with these tires, they just work. No, it's not a snow tire but it performs as well as an all-season can be expect to. If you know at all how to drive in snow you will get home.

Given the way they's performed so far, if they hold up (don't get lumpy, etc), I won't even look at anything else when it's time to replace them.

Tires are still strong just not soo good in cornering in the rain. I’ve slid a few times but in the snow they’re great was a pleasant experience during the snow storm

I bought these tires for the winter to replace my summer only Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. I wrestled with should I go all season or winter tires? Looking at the price of most of the winter tires, I went with the all seasons, knowing by spring I would mount the summers back on the car. So I went with the more budget priced Laufenn S Fit AS. Well to my surprise these tires performance in the wet, snow and ice performed above my expectations. After 6K miles and some real snow fall in the Chicago land area, I have nothing but positive things to say about these tires. On my Focus ST they handled everything I threw at them. The ride is quiet and controlled. They handled those snow days with ease and the noise levels are extremely low. I could go on and on but I think you get the picture. I would highly recommend these tires and would purchase them again without hesitation. Your experience my very on a different car with a different suspension set up.

I actually just ordered a new set of these tires. These tires are great lower cost tires that I would recommend. They perform well in all sorts of road conditions. The grip on dry roads is on par with higher priced tires. On wet roads these tires still grip the road quite well. Light to medium snow is ok, but heavy or wet snow gets into the tread and can cause slippage. The ice traction could be better, but they will still grip. Overall these tires are great, especially if you find yourself replacing your tires frequently. I drive anywhere between 30k-40k miles per year, and I usually have to replace my tires every year to year and a half. Needless to say I try to keep my tire costs down. In a time when tires from the big manufacturers are $800+/set these Laufenn tires are a great contender for the price.

I admittedly have not driven these tires hard but I could not have been happier with them so far. I don't put slot of miles on this car, maybe 1500 a year and avoid rainy days but when I drive its on winding country roads and these were quiet and handled very well. I saved a lot of money with this choice and I doubt I will wear them out before its time for new ones.

high quality tire at a fair price. handles great in Florida on local rural roads and highways. great at both dry and wet road conditions. would purchase again.

I bought these tires on a last minute resort. What made me buy them was researching and finding out Hankook own this brand (or is a sister company of some sort) and I had a very very good experience with the S1Noble 2's which is a similar tire from Hankook.

The price on these were low and I took a shot. And I am PLEASED. For the money spent, this is a really good tire! Mouse level is low, traction is pretty good in rain or dry pavement. Not Amazing but for the price, it's GOOD. The only time I've felt uneasy is when pushing the car around corners. Though that's to be expected. On top of all that, the treadwear is fantastic! I really do recommend these tires for daily commuters that want all season performance on a lower budget. But don't think I mean it's a cheap tire! It's a good tire!! And I got them on a 450hp Supra. :)

I had purchased laufen brand tires before, and they are really good on my experience and opinion. Laufen raptors Were my first tiresets to experience Of this brand I was surprised by the performance for an economic price. These new ones , more Sedan like still have that performance but more comfort , road noice dubbed down.

I was initially skeptical of these tires. However, they are some of the best tires that I have bought for the price. They continually surprise me with their grip, comfortableness and wet weather handling. Never before has a been tire this good, and so cheap! I have driven them in the rain great on the dry great. And I am now considering buying them for my Volvo. By the way yes, the van is lowered. About an inch. And it handles great.

I like the tires nice ride and a great price

The price I paid for these tires was GREAT! The reviews and tread wear at that time were what I was looking for. They are and excellent buy for the price and I would purchase them again in the furture. Have no complaints. I have them rotated at every oil change that runs around 3M miles.
