According to Laufenn, high silica content in the compound combined with a convex tread block design results in an EU wet grip label of A \u2014 the top rating \u2014 for nearly 90% of sizes. The manufacturer says this translates to 16% shorter wet braking distances and a 10% improvement in wet handling compared to the predecessor model. Four generously sized linear grooves handle water evacuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"725\" height=\"508\" src=\"https:\/\/reifenlab.eu\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/laufenn-s-fit-2-tread-pattern.jpg\" alt=\"Laufenn S Fit 2 tread pattern showing grooves and silica compound blocks\" class=\"wp-image-6115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pneuteka.cz\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/laufenn-s-fit-2-tread-pattern.jpg 725w, https:\/\/pneuteka.cz\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/laufenn-s-fit-2-tread-pattern-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Laufenn \/ Hankook Tire Europe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Efficiency_and_Mileage\"><\/span>Efficiency and Mileage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On rolling resistance, the S Fit 2 earns a B or C rating depending on the size \u2014 a respectable result for a mid-range product. More significant is the claimed 15% mileage increase over the outgoing model, attributed to a new polymer generation in the compound. Laufenn positions this as a cost-reduction argument over the tyre&#8217;s lifetime, not just a performance figure. Tread noise has also been reduced, though no specific decibel figures are cited in the press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>Property<\/th><th>S Fit 2 vs. predecessor<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>Wet braking distance<\/td><td>16% shorter<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Wet handling<\/td><td>10% better<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Mileage<\/td><td>15% increase<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>EU wet grip label<\/td><td>A (in ~90% of sizes)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>EU rolling resistance<\/td><td>B\u2013C (size dependent)<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Laufenn \/ Hankook Tire press release, March 2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"OE_Debut_and_EV_Compatibility\"><\/span>OE Debut and EV Compatibility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The OE fitment milestone matters for Laufenn&#8217;s credibility. Hankook launched the Laufenn sub-brand in Europe in 2015 as a value alternative to its main range. Securing original equipment business from European car manufacturers \u2014 which require extensive validation testing \u2014 moves the brand into a different quality tier. The press release does not name the car manufacturer(s) involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sizes compatible with plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles will carry a dedicated EV sidewall marking. This feature applies to certain sizes within the S Fit 2 range and is part of Laufenn&#8217;s broader second-generation product strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"725\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/reifenlab.eu\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/laufenn-s-fit-2-suv-summer-tyre.jpg\" alt=\"Laufenn S Fit 2 SUV version - summer tyre for SUV vehicles\" class=\"wp-image-6117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pneuteka.cz\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/laufenn-s-fit-2-suv-summer-tyre.jpg 725w, https:\/\/pneuteka.cz\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/laufenn-s-fit-2-suv-summer-tyre-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Laufenn \/ Hankook Tire Europe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Size_Availability\"><\/span>Size Availability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>Variant<\/th><th>Size range<\/th><th>Number of sizes<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>S Fit 2 (standard)<\/td><td>15 to 20 inches<\/td><td>94 sizes<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>S Fit 2 SUV<\/td><td>16 to 20 inches<\/td><td>Not specified<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Laufenn press release<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Is_This_Tyre_For\"><\/span>Who Is This Tyre For?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Laufenn S Fit 2 targets drivers who want solid wet-weather performance and decent mileage without paying premium brand prices.
