I have a set of saliun winter tires and they’ve been great so far this Canadian winter.
Yes, I had the Hankook New Englander 205/55R16H for about 4 years on my Mazda 5, and they had just over 60k miles on them. I liked them enough to buy the same thing again. I'm in Massachusetts and they feel great in all kinds of New England weather. I do a lot of driving to work including highway and city. They are grippy in rain, snow, sleet and every combination even at highway speeds. I did get a bulge in the sidewall and kept driving them the last 5-10k or so, even though I knew better. (Don't do this even though it never popped on me.) There was still a little wear left on them, but you have to replace a tire with a bulged sidewall, so I got all 4.
I love my Hankook Ions, my MYP had the Pirelli Pzeros as my original set.
One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is the road noise and how much quieter the drive is.
I’ve had both and the biggest difference I saw was the range hit. I was the sole driver so no difference in driving style - MPS AS4’s were 10% worse. Loved them but would go with the Hankooks were I to do it again.
The Hankooks are slightly softer absorbing a smidge more of the road. Noise difference between the 2 isn't noticeable at all. The Hankooks are slightly more efficient, lifetime on the Michelins is 306whm and the Hankooks are 297whm(tracked via TeslaMate).
Yes, Ive been using Sailum ERange and I’ve noticed a significant increase in range. Averaging 230W/mi from 290W/mi on 19in.
My buddy has it on his Y and happy with it an doesn’t notice any difference with the original tires.
Sailun: experimentei pelo preço. Gostei bastante da performance, mas, a durabilidade tá pecando um pouco.
I don't think they're overly noisy but don't think they're very grippy. I'm actively avoiding running the car in the rain from the hydroplaning posts and dismal Tire Rack ratings - which is kind of ridiculous.
My first time in the rain was the nail in the coffin it's straight up irresponsible that VW put those things on our cars. It's a shame but mine didn't last 1000mi before I got rid of them and that's only because I waited for a sale.
