What brand is Laufenn tires?
2 Answers
Laufenn is a new sub-brand launched by Hankook Tire, offering a product line that covers passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks, providing various products such as summer tires, winter tires, all-season tires, and all-terrain tires for these vehicles. Below is some related information about tires: 1. The main functions of tires include dry grip, hydroplaning resistance, comfort, noise reduction, impact resistance, wet grip, load capacity, handling, average wear, and mileage. 2. The cross-sectional structure of tires can generally be divided into four parts: tread, shoulder, sidewall, and bead. Each part has its own function. The tread primarily contacts the ground, the shoulder and sidewall provide support, and the bead contacts the wheel rim to ensure sealing.
I've been repairing cars for over a decade and changed countless tires, so I'm extremely familiar with the Laufenn brand. It's actually a subsidiary of Hankook Tire, spun off as an independent sub-brand in 2015. It mainly follows a cost-performance strategy, being significantly cheaper than Michelin or Bridgestone, yet the quality is absolutely reliable. It's particularly suitable for regular family cars like the Corolla or Lavida – even after running 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers, the tread patterns remain clearly visible. What surprised me most is its wet grip performance; it stays remarkably stable even when taking high-speed turns in rainy conditions. However, owners who prioritize ultimate quietness might find its road noise slightly louder, but that's understandable given its price point. For customers with limited budgets who still want reliable tires, I often recommend this brand.
