The Laufenn S FIT AS (LH01) summer tire in size 235/55 R18 is an Ultra High Performance model created by Hankook’s subsidiary brand. It is designed for drivers seeking a balance between comfort, durability, and sporty handling.

Below is a detailed description of the tire's characteristics:

Key Technical Parameters

• Tire Size: 235/55 R18 (suitable for crossovers and SUVs).

• XL (Extra Load) Index: Reinforced sidewall allowing the tire to withstand higher loads compared to standard models.

• Year of Manufacture (2025): Fresh batch with an up-to-date rubber compound.

• Asymmetric Tread Pattern: Optimized for high-speed stability and efficient water drainage.

Key Advantages and Technologies

1. Handling and Braking The tire features rigid shoulder blocks that ensure precise cornering and prevent uneven wear. Tie-Bar technology connects the tread blocks, increasing the stiffness of the overall structure and improving grip on dry roads.

2. Wet Performance The tread is equipped with four wide longitudinal channels that quickly evacuate water from the contact patch, minimizing the risk of aquaplaning. Special 3D sipes help maintain stability during rain.

3. Comfort and Durability The rubber compound utilizes high-dispersion silica, which reduces rolling resistance. This not only contributes to fuel economy but also increases tire mileage. The multi-step tread pattern is designed to reduce noise and vibration levels during highway driving.
