Both tyres appear in multiple AutobilD test runs and show complementary strengths: the Firestone Multiseason 2 targets winter braking efficiency and low rolling resistance, while the Laufenn G Fit 4S positions itself as a wet‑specialist with very strong value for money. Manufacturer pages: Firestone and Laufenn.

Test summary and positions

• Autobild (32 tyres): Firestone finished 16th, Laufenn 21st.


• A separate AUTOBILD test (37 tyres): Firestone placed 22nd, Laufenn 17th.


• Overall our scoring ranks the Laufenn higher (62% vs 56%), so across the dataset the G Fit 4S comes out slightly stronger in our aggregated assessment.

What the tests say — strengths

• Firestone Multiseason 2: praised for short snow and wet braking distances, high mileage and low rolling resistance (benefitting fuel economy). These traits make it attractive for drivers who need confident stopping in winter conditions and want longer wear.


• Laufenn G Fit 4S: highlighted as a wet‑specialist with an excellent price/value ratio. Tests note strong wet handling and circle cornering performance; in some test metrics it also ranked well for dry handling and value.

Weaknesses and trade‑offs

• Firestone: shows moderate lateral control on snow, reduced safety margins in corner aquaplaning and a tendency toward longer dry braking distances. That makes it less balanced in mixed or unpredictable conditions despite its winter braking strengths.


• Laufenn: while very competitive on wet surfaces and exceptional value, Autobild 2025 flagged it as slightly weaker on dry roads and as having the loudest rolling noise among candidates—an important consideration for refinement and highway comfort.

Head‑to‑head verdict
Results are mixed: in one Autobild run the Firestone outperformed the Laufenn, in another the Laufenn was ahead. However, the Laufenn’s higher overall score (62% vs 56%) and consistent wet performance give it the edge as the more versatile, cost‑effective choice for drivers prioritizing wet weather safety and value. The Firestone remains the better pick if your primary needs are snow and wet braking efficiency, low rolling resistance and longer wear, accepting compromises in dry handling and aquaplaning reserves.

Recommendation: choose the Laufenn G Fit 4S if you want the best all‑round wet performance and value; choose the Firestone Multiseason 2 if winter braking, mileage and fuel efficiency are your top priorities. Neither model is currently listed with a direct replacement model.
