Initial Impressions
The 3 reviews before me helped me choose these tires, which exceeded my expectations. They have an unbeatable price-quality ratio. Quite safe on dry and wet roads. Very good on snow and ice. A little weaker on slush and roads with a lot of water. They evacuate it more difficult. For the first 5000 miles, they convinced me. They are trusted tires.

I reluctantly mounted two Laufenn iFit Plus tires on the rear axle of my BMW F31 316d. They replaced a set of Kleber winter tires after one unexpectedly succumbed to a pothole. The Laufenns have far exceeded my expectations in winter conditions. They perform exceptionally well on both snow and ice, providing excellent traction. If you look for winter tires, I highly recommend them—not only is their performance outstanding, but their price-to-quality ratio is probably the best you can get.
