Tires Nexen or GISLAVED
I've had both Sailun and Nexen (2010 Audi A4 Avant) and had no issues, even with Autobahn driving.
Nexen vote for me. They've held up pretty well here in MA.
Nexen, depending on the model (avoid the CPxxx models otherwise excellent tires) are great tires and would be a lateral move from the RT43...
I love my nexen nprix 8. Going to get another set soon.
I have been a big fan of Nexen tires for some time... Sent two kids to college on them in the Dakotas where conditions can be less than ideal. And we have used their winter tires, performance tires, and truck tires as well and I can say I don't really have any negatives to say for the price... They are solid, budget tires in the same league as Cooper, General, Falken, and Yokohama... They are not Michelins or Bridgestones, but they don't try to be either.
Nexen winguard sport 2 have been just fine for me.
I put Nexen Roadian AT Pro RA8 on instead (they were on sale and had white letter sidewalls, I am old school) and honestly I haven't regretted it at all... I do some off-roading and deal with pretty severe winters and snow and the Nexens have been very good in those conditions and I have put a fair amount of interstate highway miles on them and they run nice and quiet.
Gislaved is a Continental brand: they are OK-ish tires at best.
I've got about 60k km on my OEM Nexen tires. They are definitely on the way out, they slip on wet roads now when accelerating.
the stock OE tires are absolute garbage but they'll work just fine if you live in warmer climate area. I put mine through a single winter in buffalo ny area. it was a bad idea but if you're a good driver, you can manage the LACK of ANY traction.
