I have them on my '17 Bolt. They are definitely quieter than the previous tires. They seem to be holding up well, and I love hearing the tires chirp for traction when flogging it a 30 MPH!
Sailun tires are pretty good in general for being off brand. My Jetta had them when I bought it — I put about 45k miles on them before they wore out. And during that time I hit a pothole hard enough to bend the wheel — but the tire survived.
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.
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.
That being said my experience says that the Sailun are a better choice. I have had less comebacks with this brand.
They hold air, haven't gotten popped, and seem to be holding up better than brand new goodyear wrangler tires and new bf Goodrich tires I've had to buy.
That being said I'm currently having Sailun Terramax HLT installed on my SUV. I will report back how they feel.
I put a set of 21" ERange on my Model Y over the summer just to try them out, almost as a joke. They are ever so slightly louder than the stock Michelins. But they are more efficient, just barely. There's a droning resonance around 58-62mph as well.
I put some cheap all seasons on my Fiesta ST (sailuns) and they were fine until it snowed and it was like I was trying to drive on summer tires in winter. Then they couldn't handle a single pothole, within a year I tossed the whole set because I blew one out and saw I had a bubble in two other tires on the insides from potholes.
