Review on Laufenn S Fit EQ 215/55 R16 93V summer by Petar Andreev ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Everything is fine, there are only minor drawbacks.

Size 205/55/16, bought 06202222. For my style of driving and using the car as a "weekend car" - the tires are almost perfect. Now it’s already worth it as an average budget one, and when I bought it, it was on the same level with the Katais. I took 2750 for a balloon + bi-paid tire fitting! Immediately felt the softness of the passage of road bumps and "recumbent". I can describe this feeling as "+25% to the softness of the suspension. " Which in no way means that the car has become a roll, on the contrary: it handles perfectly, confidently enters corners, dry or wet asphalt - it doesn't matter. The only thing: because of the softness of the mixture, the pebbles are gaining in the tread. You have to pull them out manually. And the soft sidewall is not habitually annoying. The rubber is quiet, the secretiveness is not felt. My driving style complies with the traffic rules of the 2022 =) I definitely recommend buying. True, the price tag is no longer so attractive. For such a price (3300 - 3700) in size 205/55/16, there are already a lot of tempting worthy options. And here the choice in favor of Laufenn is not so obvious. If it cost 2900 - 3000, then it would be out of competition!

Pros
  • Softness (+25% to suspension softness), handling, acoustic comfort
Cons
  • Soft sidewall - I remember this all the time. Although this is not a drawback for everyone, as the experience of using this rubber of colleagues shows, a soft sidewall does not mean at all that the rubber is not impact resistant. And Laufenn is traditionally "small". My size is 205/55/16, actual width is 200.
