I was skeptical at first because they were so cheap. But after I did a cross-Canada trip on them I was so impressed by them. They survived nasty potholes. I didn't notice any range loss. Very quiet as well. The grip in wet conditions were far better.
Honestly man if you're looking for fun cheep tires, the Kenda 200utqg is available in your size its a good bet. It definitely slower than top dogs but it preforms well. Big plus on the kenda is they don't get destroyed by high Temps and have a long life. Plus if you run them on the street as well they do well in rain
I love mine. I got 40k on my last set. I just got the red letter kenda rt now. Keep them rotated every 3k, and they will stay quiet and ride amazing. I have 7k on my new set already and they look like new still.
They are very grippy on dry (I'm using 205/45/17), steering response is fantastic, very direct. On wet they seem fine, though I'm driving very cautiously on wet.
You can get new Sailun tires for less than $115each from Big O Tires. They are good tires for the money, basically designed to do exactly what you need. New safe tires that fit a tight budget.
Kenda makes good tires, they're very popular in Asia. I got my set of Kenda KR20A 200tw, two 235 40 r18 and two 255 40 r18 for $550 brand new and they're extremely good grip wise, they do well in the canyons for me better than the set of indy500s I had on my car previously, however these make more noise than the indy 500s did and ride quality is slightly worse due to stiffer sidewalls but for half the price of other good performance tires I say kendas are good tires.
That being said my experience says that the Sailun are a better choice. I have had less comebacks with this brand.
From just some small spirited driving this weekend they feel softer than Continentals and like they are rolling under the rim.
I ran them on my ST. They handle like a 300tw tire. They became greasy on a really hot track day.
Kaisers aren't great. Some of the behaviors of a 200TW tyre but without the grip to back it up. Cheap and competitive with Indy 500 though from what I've seen on friends cars. They're slippery enough to use for drifting though so I wouldn't really recommend
