<p>I knew this brand as a cheaper option from hankook. Kinda same pattern as the hankook, with small changes. I have and had hankook tires, so I picked this to the daily, which is a MK1 fabia.
Trust me, if you have a daily car, its more than enough, if the daily car is not az M4 BMW.
The side walls are min 55, so this is not a sport tire. If you dont drive like that, its fine. It will stop the car anytime, just do not try to find its edge.</p>

★★★☆☆

After 2,500 km. with these tyres, I have noticed an extremely high increase in noise. They have been noisy from day one, when I fitted them on my car. For those who are expecting a quiet ride, these tyres are not for you.
Also, in cold conditions below 10°C, the tyres become very hard and uncomfortable.
The rest of the performance is totally okay. I’m happy with the rolling resistance, as well as dry and wet handling and braking in all conditions.

This review is for laufenn zfit eq tyres.
These tyres have done 10000 miles so far and are down to 4mm of tread depth. When brand new they have 7.5mm of depth. What like about these is there is no difference between these and overpriced premium tyres. I paid £108 per tyre fitted. If you get a puncture on a quattro car your supposed to change 2 tyres on the same axle. You can with these for the price of 1 michelin tyre. I have had tyres from all top of the range companies and for normal everyday driving there is no difference at all except for the price. I do think that you are only paying for the name sometimes. These tyres will be good for 15000 miles and will definitely buy them again

Just had them fitted on my Polo 1.0 TSI and they are amazing! This is a good year/conti level tyre at a much lower price, the car feels like it did when it was new on the Falkens it left the showroom floor with

★★★★☆

I've been driving with the S Fit EQ+ for a while and to be honest for the price, I think it's a bargain! Not too sure about the longevity but changing from Yokohama ES32, I feel a significant improvement in my driving dynamics and my car feels more stable. Wet grip is pretty decent too. Only gripe is that the road noises are a bit louder and the tyres feels a bit stiffer than required. But I'd say it's perfect for urban spirited driving with a hot hatch.
