The Laufenn I FIT receives predominantly poor reviews from users, primarily criticized for dangerously inadequate wet-weather performance and rapid degradation over multiple seasons. While a few drivers note decent comfort and acceptable traction in dry or snowy conditions, the overwhelming consensus warns against their use in cold, wet climates due to sudden grip loss.

Two scoring systems, side by side

Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.

How scores work

Relative score: 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests: 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews: 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 7 owner reviews found online.

Pros

Acceptable traction in snow and ice conditions
Comfortable and quiet ride quality when new
Affordable budget-oriented pricing as a Hankook sub-brand

Cons

Catastrophically poor grip and high risk of aquaplaning on wet and cold roads
Sudden loss of traction without warning, inspiring low confidence
Rapid performance degradation after the first or second season
Tires become excessively hard and stiff over time

Worth knowing

Users in regions with predominantly cold and wet winters rather than heavy snow found the tires completely unsuitable for their local climate.
Rear-wheel-drive sedan owners, such as a BMW 3 Series driver, experienced a notable improvement in mobility during actual snow accumulation despite overall wet-weather complaints.
