Tires KENDA or Sailun
They're actually pretty good especially for the price in terms of snow and ice performance. Very comparable to the top brands. It's a bit louder though.
Kenda's Slant Six was an amazing tire when worn with tubes on 26" tires.
Sailun makes a great tire for the price though, I ran my last set of ATs for 50,000 kms and still had enough tread life to get $200 for them on Marketplace.
I did some track days with Sailun Atrezzo R01 on my first gen BRZ this year. They're 180 AA A, but only cost me 130$ CAD per tire. They hold up to the heat and don't chunk but they're a little loud on the street.
I just picked up a set a few weeks ago, took them to Moab on some dry trails. Performed well, even at 35 psi. Went and did some snow traveling, felt fine, especially braking. Went into some packed snow on the road at 45-50 mph and hit the brakes hard to see how much force they could handle before abs kicked on, abs only kicked on cause of no weight in the bed of my truck, never felt loss of braking traction or control. Went over a few passes passing people in the passing lane that was covered in snow and Was able to do it in 2wd, only time I needed to use 4x4 was when I had to stop on a section of straight ice, when on a slight uphill, once in 4wd, had no issues on the section ice. Then when I got the the trail head there was a guy next to me stuck in his ford f250 in 4x4 with a name brand set of a/t tires. I continued down the trail in 2wd. So far I’m happy, only complaint is the amount of sidewall flex I feel when going around corners.
I have been very happy with the Sailun Erange tires for the last 2k miles.
I have the sailun erange tires for almost 10k miles now, no issues so far at all.
I did some research before buying Sailun (race dragon) winter tires on the cheap. They were OK, but didn't last as long as other brands.
I'm still waiting for the stock Kenda tires to wear out, getting close. Will be replacing them with Michelin city grip 2.
Not happy, 25,000 km and two are separated, would definitely not recommend
