Only 2k miles on the tires so far. Initial impressions is its a good bang for your buck. I was almost assuming because these were fairly inexpensive that the feedback and performance of the tire were not fantastic. Then I read how Laufenn is a subsidiary of Hankook tires. Basically there mid to entry level tires. I decided since they were designed by hankook and said to be good for fuel efficiency and quiet ride. So initial impression.... yes, they are quiet...surprisingly quiet. I drive a 2016 mazda 3. These cars are noisy...lots of road noise usually resonates. These made it surprisingly quiet. Fuel efficiency, i do see slightly better gas mileage...ill need to put more miles on it before I can say it increases mpg for sure..... cornering.... thats where the first mediocre performing aspect of the tire. On dry road, it seems to grip very well ( but what tire in its first 2k miles break in isnt usually sticky ans grippy...) but the sidewalk seems a bit weak..i am definitely getting a little bit of squishyness and feeling the outward roll of the car a bit more. Not significantly more than my previous continentals but a little. Now, ill again say this is for sure untill more miles are put on but I think its all possible my previous tires were at the end of their treadlife.... meaning the tires were smaller giving my car a lower ride height and ultimately giving it a lower center of gravity. Which is why when switching to brand new , fresh tread tires. Its raised my height. Possibly making the roll more noticeable. I have not had an oppurtunity to drive these on what i would consider , proper wet road conditions to give an opinion or review of there performance in that dept. But overall.. the quietness is fantastic. I drive 33 miles each way to work everyday . 30 of those miles is interstate . These tires are everything I need them to be. Great value if your not wanting to break the bank I think i paid something like $600 for them through les schwabs
