Tires Sailun or TIGAR
For a Corolla, mixing one odd tire isn't the end of the world, but if you've already got one Sailun on there, paying the extra $100 to make all four match is usually worth it just for consistent grip and braking especially since you're in NJ and see winter nastiness. Sailuns aren't fancy but they're totally fine for daily driving
I drive winters in Alberta Canada, on the mountain side, mostly. I have a 23 full size and have never had better performance in winter conditions. Same with mud - we like bus camping. Mine is on Sailun A/T tires, bought it that way. I’ll definitely be seeking these tires out when it’s time to replace.
10 godina stare tigrice i gde sam krenuo tu sam stigao kao da je suvo ????
Imam neke tigar zimske gume i sjajno me sluze.
Tigar nove zimske, dobro gaze.
Dok sam ćerao Pežoa, imao Tigar gume na njemu.....uništavao je sneg i led.
I wouldn't get anything lower quality than the Sailun, especially for winter. I think Sailun and Nitto have okay options for all weather, but if you can spend a bit more for better brands (premium or the ones mentioned by other commenters) it's probably worth it up to a certain point.
The R01 is super slippery, though it can work to your advantage for whipping the car around cones. It can work well as a daily tire that you can use for autocross.
In comparison to the michelin tires, the tigar tires were extremely hard and already some kind of shiny even though they were much younger, had fewer miles/km and were never parked in brutal heat or sun. We bought 4 new tires anyways, so it didnt really matter to us, but that experience was enough for me to never buy a tigar tire.
I bought a set of Sailluns several years ago because they were a couple of hundred cheaper than name brand tires. I had them a week and the tire shop tried to balance them twice and they still shook like crazy. Tire shop ended up putting Kumhos on my van for free because of the trouble I had with the cheap tires. I quit buying cheap tires after that.
