Laufenn G Fit 4S

Laufenn Tires Touring All Season

The Laufenn G Fit 4S is an economy touring all-season tire that stands out for its confident wet-road grip and reassuring, predictable manners in everyday driving. Driver feedback highlights a quiet, comfortable ride and strong value for money, with early impressions of treadwear looking very promising. Professional testing broadly supports the wet-performance story, but repeatedly flags a clear limitation in dry braking.

Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tire tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

The Kleber Quadraxer 3, as Michelin's budget sub-brand, proves to be a snow talent and the best second-tier brand from a premium manufacturer in the test. This tire inherits some of Michelin's winter expertise, delivering strong cold-weather performance at a more accessible price point. However, it's somewhat weaker in dry conditions and suffers from increased rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption.

I drove these tires around 2000 km and they are great. The car is not so powerfull but this tires fits it very well. I am driving maxinum possible fast where ever I can and they didnt slip any where. Very good on wet. Little bit noisy above 100kmh. For that price around 50e they are great. Waiting winter to see snow grip

Latest Laufenn G Fit 4S Reviews

Initial Impressions Review
Given 100% while driving a Dacia (185/65 R15) on for 3 miles
Hello. I bought 4 Laufenn G Fit 4S 185/65 R15 92T tires with DOT 09/26 made in Hungary from a representative in Romania, Cluj Napoca, from Sigemo, a very respected company, from which I have always bought tires for many years, having a fleet of cars under its control. They mounted them, balanced them. I left them, drove about 3 km and stopped to check the pressure. The pressure was ok, 2.2 bar, BUT I noticed some quite visible bumps on the side of 2 of the 4 tires. I immediately went back to them and showed them the problems. They said that this is normal. That they all have this at the joint. But I don't believe so. I refused to believe so and asked them to change me to others. They didn't want to, because they said that's how they all are. Then I asked for another brand of tires, I paid the 50 euro labor fee again, but I left with other tires, another brand, it doesn't matter which brand, because I don't want to advertise another brand. Personally, I will never buy Laufenn G FIT 4S again. I don't know if it was a manufacturing problem, but I was left with a bitter taste after the experience, plus I paid an extra 50 euro for labor even though it wasn't my fault that the tires were visibly defective.

Initial Impressions Review
Given 84% while driving a Skoda Fabia 1.2 (205/55 R16) on for 1,500 miles
After an accident in my previous car, I picked up a Skoda Fabia as a hack and it needed new tires on all four corners. The Laufenn was an unknown brand to me but found out they're Hankook related, so took a punt on them in Nov 25. Over winter, they were simply brilliant and I had to deal with six inches of snow, compacted snow and ice on 1:10 inclines in rural Staffordshire. I was literally driving around AWD suvs that were stuck on summer tires. After 1500 miles on them, they look brand new still and having done motorway, town, country I can safely say they're a good buy. They're comfortable, provide generally good feedback and aren't too loud on the motorway or A roads at speed. Not the sort of tire to be using to find the limits of any car but for everyday driving and good, predictably safe grip in all conditions, they're absolutely ideal, especially at the price point you'll find them at. Would I buy them again? Yep. Was I happy with the purchase just before winter, you betcha!

Recently bought these as they are made in the Hankook factory in Hungary, with the same rubber mix in them as Hankook tires. Previously had Hankook Optima 4s and was very happy, so opted for another Hankook brand this time. Have not had a chance to drive in snow, but handle very well in wet and very quiet tires.

Fitted the tires a few hundred km's ago. Very quiet ride and handles really well. Cornering grip is amazing and the car feels very responsive.
