Head-to-head verdict
Results are mixed depending on what the test emphasised: in one Autobild run the Firestone scored higher, while in another the Laufenn came out ahead. Looking across available tests and our aggregate ratings, the Laufenn G Fit 4S emerges as the more balanced tyre overall — particularly for drivers who prioritise wet performance and value. The Firestone Multiseason 2 is a strong pick if your priority is short snow/wet braking, fuel efficiency and tread life, but be aware of its compromises in lateral stability on snow, aquaplaning reserves and dry braking.

Choose Laufenn for balanced wet-road confidence and cost‑effectiveness; choose Firestone if snow braking, low rolling resistance and long mileage are your top priorities, and you accept some trade‑offs in handling and dry stopping distances.
