Swapped the 21’s and summer tires off my summit reserve for 18” XDs and Kumho Venture with a 3 peak mountain snowflake rating. Had 10” of snow and didn’t bat an eye in snow mode.
Kumho - superior value and great handling.
For a Corolla, mixing one odd tire isn't the end of the world, but if you've already got one Sailun on there, paying the extra $100 to make all four match is usually worth it just for consistent grip and braking especially since you're in NJ and see winter nastiness. Sailuns aren't fancy but they're totally fine for daily driving
Kumho ecsta sport S. Huge improvement
I got 275 and use to have pirellis now I got kumhos they don’t spin as much as the pirellis from a straight dig I use to fish tail hard when my foot was deep in the pedal I recommend kumhos and falkens they straight
Try kumho tires korean brand and decent quality for its price, for my sedan its about 2.8k per tire
On my last car Michelin Pilot Sport 4S lasted ~20k but that's kind of expected due to how soft they are. On my current I have Kumho Ecsta Sport and they have lasted about the same but instead of wear being the issue they're cracking/tearing.
I wouldn't get anything lower quality than the Sailun, especially for winter. I think Sailun and Nitto have okay options for all weather, but if you can spend a bit more for better brands (premium or the ones mentioned by other commenters) it's probably worth it up to a certain point.
I bought a set of Sailluns several years ago because they were a couple of hundred cheaper than name brand tires. I had them a week and the tire shop tried to balance them twice and they still shook like crazy. Tire shop ended up putting Kumhos on my van for free because of the trouble I had with the cheap tires. I quit buying cheap tires after that.
Boils my piss when I see people walking into tyre shops and just asking for the cheapest they have. It vaporises my shit when it's clearly a family car with child seats in the back. Why would you cheap out on keeping your kids safe?
