vs
Tires LANDSAIL or VITOUR
i have landsail ls588 Ultra High Performance tires on mine 245/40 R18s. good price and very quiet while having insane grip
Pros: good price, very quiet
Sunday I'm doing my first event on the Vitour P1, moving from the Rival S 1.5. I'll report back.
Biggest thing on them is the sizes. They make weird sizes that can net you an advantage, especially on specific cars.
I've done about 1200 Street miles and it's a clearly faster tire. Hard as hell when cold. Like, the first mile or two is pretty bouncy. But settles in quickly just on street driving. I imagine the first lap will get enough heat in.
While I'd love to do an apples to apples size wise, the very availability of a 305 in a 15" tire at 200tw is a huge consideration. Like for like they could be slower, but the next widest 15" option is a 245" by the competitors' 200tw offerings. So, I'll post my results after Sunday's event.
The shorter overall OD can also help (or hurt) depending on gearing.
Pros: clearly faster tire
Cons: hard as hell when cold
Mileage: 1200 km
I just out a set on my daily and so far I really like them. I came from BFG Rivals. The P1 definitely grips harder.
They're very new so not a ton of data on them, but they seem to be running with the fastest tires, and supposedly are lasting longer while being cheaper to buy.
I've put about 1500 miles on mine so far and am impressed with the wear.
Pros: grips harder, lasting longer
Cons: very new, little data
Mileage: 2414 km
I dont care about road noise so i stick to Vitour Tempesta Enzo semi slicks, insane cornering stabilty, dry grip is phenomenal as well as steering response.
Pros: insane cornering stabilty
Cons: noisy at first
Mileage: 50000 km
Go for the Vitour P1. Just out a set on my MR2 this weekend. Wow so much grip
Pros: so much grip
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
I'm running them on my C7Z (315/345s on 18s). Only one event on them so far (next one is tomorrow) and can confirm they are stupid fast. I was running Conti ECFs previously and about 70% of my first event on the P1s was trying to find the limit and learn the tire.
Pros: stupid fast
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Corvette
but given they're landsails anyway i'd definitely replace them with something (better preferably) just for piece of mind
Pros: replace for piece of mind
Cons: landsails are not good
I got my car from a dealership with Landsail tires on it. Complete garbage
Cons: complete garbage
Landsail tires are cheap Chinese tires... I'd replace them as soon as is financially reasonable and possible, as I wouldn't trust my life to Chinese tires.
Cons: cheap, untrustworthy
My R32 came with 4 matching 'new' tyres. They were made by 'Landsail' which apparently is a premium chinese brand... yeah ok... but anyway took it for first MOT a few weeks later and they phoned me up soon after saying I was lucky to still be on the road. The inner walls of the two rear tyres had almost completely perished, held on by threads almost.
Cons: inner walls perished
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
