Volvo S40 1.6d Tyre Review Highlights
Writing about the Laufenn S fit EQ given 70% (205-55-16-H)
Driving on mostly motorways for 20000 average miles
I own the tires on VOLVO S40 1.6 116 horse power The tires have their advantages: Excellent grip on dry, Very well grip on wet with almost no sliding on heavy water. Low noise levels and very good feedback on the steering wheel. Disadvantages: The tires wear is average (that is expected considering the good grip levels) They perform not well at speeds higher than 170 kmh. The rubber is soft and higher internal temperatures makes the tire lose the ground. Not recommended for heavy vehicles or high speeds.

Very very good grip. Wasn't expecting anything different from an expensive premium tire.

Drove them 10.000 km so far, absolutely brilliant, can't tell the difference from more expensive premium tires. Also hit a few larger potholes, the rims got dents but the tire is intact. Will definitely buy again.

Driving on mostly motorways for 50000 easy going miles
Great wearing tire. I have them on since I got the car, Volvo S40 1.6D. I've put 50,000miles on them. Can't complain about grip, wet or dry. On the expensive side. Changing now but going for the Vredestein Sportrac 5.
