Tires Firestone or Sailun
I got some Sailuns for our Montana 5th wheel and from my load range G goodyears to my load range G Sailuns I was getting 1.9mpg better on average and it pulls alot nicer. Have about 19,000 miles on them since putting them on last spring.
sailun tires lasted me super long time first time i got them. they are great freakin tires. i got the 80k miles sailuns on rn. i bought 40k rated sailuns and they lasted me longer than 40k one time. i wouldnt buy anything else other than sailun,cooper, and hercules because all these tires gave me positive experience
I was very surprised with the tyres -- soft ride, good handling, and good wet grip. I would say the performance was the same as that of BF Goodrich which I bought 12 years prior, at half price. This confirms the reviews that the Chinese tyres, and in particular the Sailun ones, have improved in the past years (almost) to the western standards.
The Firehawk Indy 500 tires aren't perfect but they hold up well on a track known for eating tires. Additionally they are predictable in wet/dry conditions which is perhaps more important for learning.
If you don't need run flats, get Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Rebadged Bridgestone tires that are stickier than most Michelin tires, and cheaper too
I also really like Winterforce tires. again far less expensive but great tread and can be studded if you want.
Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's seem to be the best budget performance tires.
After looking into it a bit I went with a set of Firestone Indy500s that mounted and balanced came out to less than $800. Had them for 6 months now, and no complaints so far.
Same with Firestone fuel fighters. They were all I could get in a hurry.
I had Firestone’s (Firestone is owned by Bridgestone) and I hated them with a passion. They didn’t handle the rain or snow good at all, and after only 20k miles I had this, cracking all over the tires.
