Since I can't get Michelins in the sizes I run anymore, I've switched to Laufenn (by Hancook). It's German for "runner", they are inexpensive and initial performance is excellent.
I use laufen all season high performance and they have worked great
Even a slightly preowned premium tire is better than cheap Chinese crap. Can attest to this personally. I went from new Sailun summer tires in factory size (225/60R16) on my 280hp car to used Michelin Premacy 3s. Guess which had better grip? Guess which was fine to -1C road surface temperature on a wet road?
Something more cost savings are the Laufenn tires (made by Hankook) great “budget” tires!
I got some Sailuns for our Montana 5th wheel and from my load range G goodyears to my load range G Sailuns I was getting 1.9mpg better on average and it pulls alot nicer. Have about 19,000 miles on them since putting them on last spring.
sailun tires lasted me super long time first time i got them. they are great freakin tires. i got the 80k miles sailuns on rn. i bought 40k rated sailuns and they lasted me longer than 40k one time. i wouldnt buy anything else other than sailun,cooper, and hercules because all these tires gave me positive experience
I was very surprised with the tyres -- soft ride, good handling, and good wet grip. I would say the performance was the same as that of BF Goodrich which I bought 12 years prior, at half price. This confirms the reviews that the Chinese tyres, and in particular the Sailun ones, have improved in the past years (almost) to the western standards.
Our shop puts on a fair amount of those Sailuns because people like the price point they carry. They generally hold up ok although the Terramax A/Ts 10 plys dont hold up great for anything bigger than a half ton truck.
They’re a mid tier tire brand. They’re not the best nor the worst. However, if you want a better recommendation that’s mid tier but in my opinion a lot better, get Laufenn tires.
I checked my car tires and they are Laufenn. My ride quality is quite bumpy and shaky.
