Tires Sailun or Triangle
I have sailun e-range. Solid choice.
I have those tires also. They were quieter than what came off.
As someone with 180,000 on a Tesla and tried both LRR/EV/non-ev tires, YES!! So far my favorite for efficiency is the Sailun E-Range tire, second is Michelin MXM4.
I have sailun e-range EV tires and they've been great for 8K miles so far. People (who don't own them) crap on these tires because they're not a big name but you can't beat the price. As far as traction, they did the trick avoiding a deer on the interstate with a hard brake and little evasive maneuver.
Sailun pricing is really good, and some of the posts i have seen do indeed say range has increased. also, compared to what came on the car, the tire is indeed quieter and smoother.
Great tire, long life, smooth quiet. 80MPH, 110mile per day commute no complaints. Decent in snow and rain too (we live in northern NM). We were concerned but they are just as good or better than your average name brand tire.
Stock Pirellis were shot, tire shop recommended Sailun. $230 a piece, Irvine, CA.
My quick-take after a week of driving:
* Turning radius at slow speeds seems better than the Pirellis. It’s easier to get into parking spaces.
* Ride feels a bit "harder", more vibrations in the cabin now.
* I charge at home to 70% and only go to work and back. Normally get home at 64% SoC, this week been coming home at 65% SoC.
* Everything else feels the same (for now).
Our shop puts on a fair amount of those Sailuns because people like the price point they carry. They generally hold up ok although the Terramax A/Ts 10 plys dont hold up great for anything bigger than a half ton truck.
I had Triangles on a pickup and they were decent.
if you drive a lot, you can get fresh Sailun for cheaper prices, but after two years they will be hard as rock and wont do their thing anymore.
