Tires Sailun or Shinko
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.
- Have been running Shinko 777 tires on my FLHRSI which I'm very happy with, but am going with the longer lasting Shinko 999 tires next.
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.
Sailun: experimentei pelo preço. Gostei bastante da performance, mas, a durabilidade tá pecando um pouco.
Initial impressions after 50 miles. The ride quality isn’t noticeable different than the OEM tires. I THINK they might have a tiny bit more noise. Driving this weekend I can first say the new tires are a smoother and quieter ride. I can say for sure that there tires are not significantly better or worse than the OEM tires.
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.
