Tires Sailun or Achilles
Buy the sailun Terramax HLT. We sell tons of those tires where I live in rural saskatchewan and they stand up well, get good tread life and have fairly decent winter traction for an all season.
Sailun boss Gamit namin sa mga L3 at elf. Mas maganda kapit compared sa stock tires lalo na sa mga matatarik na roads.
I have just about 10k miles on my Sailun ERange and I have found them to be a great purchase. I noticed better traction in rainy/wet conditions and a slight decrease in noise. I just need to experience some snow and ice to see how they do.
They're actually pretty good especially for the price in terms of snow and ice performance. Very comparable to the top brands. It's a bit louder though.
Sailun makes a great tire for the price though, I ran my last set of ATs for 50,000 kms and still had enough tread life to get $200 for them on Marketplace.
I did some track days with Sailun Atrezzo R01 on my first gen BRZ this year. They're 180 AA A, but only cost me 130$ CAD per tire. They hold up to the heat and don't chunk but they're a little loud on the street.
I just picked up a set a few weeks ago, took them to Moab on some dry trails. Performed well, even at 35 psi. Went and did some snow traveling, felt fine, especially braking. Went into some packed snow on the road at 45-50 mph and hit the brakes hard to see how much force they could handle before abs kicked on, abs only kicked on cause of no weight in the bed of my truck, never felt loss of braking traction or control. Went over a few passes passing people in the passing lane that was covered in snow and Was able to do it in 2wd, only time I needed to use 4x4 was when I had to stop on a section of straight ice, when on a slight uphill, once in 4wd, had no issues on the section ice. Then when I got the the trail head there was a guy next to me stuck in his ford f250 in 4x4 with a name brand set of a/t tires. I continued down the trail in 2wd. So far I’m happy, only complaint is the amount of sidewall flex I feel when going around corners.
Not the best I've had in the snow but not the worst either. we generally take the truck camping, so have had instances of wet grass, mud and such and it works well. Very gooey mud is a problem. It's performed well on some very steep dirt road mountains in Arkansas, just keep up the momentum, but had pretty low slipping considering that particular road.
My only issue I've had that concerns me is they were not balanced properly. Didn't learn of that until I started bumping on the road, at which point some flat spots were formed.
Take it from someone who for the first 15 years of driving spent the big bucks on Conti DWS/Michelin Pilot's/Goodyear Assurances/ Pirelli P Zero's/Hankook Ventus etc. At least two dozen sets.
All a waste of money unless you are well off. I am by no means poor anymore but I started running the super generics about 8 years ago, Achilles Desert Hawk's, Gladiator XT's, Westlake's, Lexani's and now Lionhart's.
No they are not as good as the name brands, but every day driving you and 99% of people can't tell and you will naturally acclimate to whatever the limits are over time while saving 60-75% off buying name brand if you really take your time and shop around.
I've towed my 8000lb camper around the country, through the Rockies with some of these generics.
I bought a sailun once for my vios. Wala pa isang taon na oblong yung tires. Never gonna by it again.
