What is laufenn tire?

[SanCarlos]

Laufenn is a new sub-brand launched by Hankook Tire, with its product line covering passenger cars, SUVs and light trucks, offering various products such as summer tires, winter tires, all-season tires, and all-terrain tires for these vehicles. The following is a related introduction to tires: 1. The main functions of tires include dry grip, hydroplaning resistance, comfort provision, noise reduction, impact resistance, wet grip, load capacity, handling performance, average wear, and mileage. 2. The cross-sectional structure of a tire can be roughly divided into four parts: tread, shoulder, sidewall, and bead. Each part has its own function. The tread mainly contacts the ground, the shoulder and sidewall provide support, and the bead contacts the rim to provide sealing.

Hankook Tire's premium sub-brand, specifically focused on performance. When I drove the Tiguan L, I switched to Laufenn S Fit tires, and the highway noise was noticeably quieter than the original tires. They're especially stable when driving through puddles in the rain, with deep drainage grooves that prevent hydroplaning even at higher speeds. The key point is the price is quite reasonable, unlike some big-name brands that easily cost over a thousand per tire. My friends who are into car mods all say this brand's grip is on par with imported tires, holding firm when carving through mountain curves, though they are a bit stiffer, making rough roads feel more bumpy.

This tire belongs to Hankook's premium line, and its wear resistance is truly impressive. I replaced my Corolla with the Laufenn X Fit last year, and after nearly 50,000 kilometers, more than half of the tread remains. It's particularly suitable for frequent highway driving, with no steering wheel vibration at 120 km/h. In winter snow conditions, the braking distance is significantly shorter than the original tires, reportedly due to the use of composite resin in the tread. However, there's a minor drawback: a slightly higher chance of slipping during rapid acceleration, possibly related to the tread rubber compound formulation.

The Hyundai car owners' circle really recognizes this brand for its high cost-performance ratio. Last time I changed to Laufenn G Fit tires at Tuhu, four tires cost less than two thousand yuan. The steering feels much more flexible than before, and the tire sidewall support is strong enough. The mechanic said this brand uses aramid cords, so it's less prone to bulging even if punctured by nails. For those driving on ice and snow, pay attention to choosing the ice series with the snowflake symbol. Even in Harbin's winter with temperatures below minus twenty degrees, there's no hardening or slipping.

We use this brand for both cars at home, mainly for its wet performance. Once during a heavy rain while picking up the kids, driving through a waterlogged area at 60 km/h without any skidding, thanks to the dual V-groove tread that quickly channels water away. The rubber compound is designed for low rolling resistance, reducing the Lavida's fuel consumption by 0.8 liters per 100 km. Going over speed bumps in the neighborhood, the sound is muffled, quieter than Michelin. If you frequently drive on gravel roads, it's advisable to check the tread every three months, as the sidewall protective layer is slightly thinner.

When I was an apprentice at the auto repair shop, I disassembled this tire. The carcass structure is indeed well-designed. The six layers of nylon belts are tightly arranged, making it impact-resistant on gravel roads. For summer tires, the S Fit model is recommended, with its angled shoulder tread blocks that provide a larger contact area during cornering. Last week, I helped a customer replace four tires, and the actual test showed a braking distance over 3 meters shorter than Kumho tires. When purchasing, pay attention to the speed rating—the H grade's limit of 210 km/h is sufficient, but for track use, the V grade is suggested.
