I put a set of the new Sailun e-tires on my M3. It's a new tire for this Chinese brand made specifically for EV's and their weight. Price is right, they are quiet on the highways.
I went with Solar 4XS+ available from Walmart. They are manufactured by Sumitomo tires. These came in really cheap at $350 for all 4 tires including lifetime balance and rotation and road hazard warranty at Walmart. These are 89 H rated, so a bit soft which cut down the road noise a lot compared to my previous Bridgestone Ecopia. Efficiency is the same as the Ecopias at 4.3 mi/kwh but they ride smooth and quiet.
About to swap out the winter tires that came on the ‘19 tiguan I bought for the wife/hauling kids…. They’re sailun winter blazers….. seem like a great tire and from what I read when confirming they’re in fact winter tires seems they’re one of the best value winter tires so the brands probably not too bad.
My dad has been running that exact tire on his 98 Silverado for 3 years. They’ve held up great and still have 70% of tread left
these Sumitomo HTR Enhance WX2 have been solid and cheaper than Michelins
I swear by Sumitomo Ice Edge tires. I've had three sets now on three different vehicles and other than a couple of nights when there was freezing rain, I've never had issues with them
Even a slightly preowned premium tire is better than cheap Chinese crap. Can attest to this personally. I went from new Sailun summer tires in factory size (225/60R16) on my 280hp car to used Michelin Premacy 3s. Guess which had better grip? Guess which was fine to -1C road surface temperature on a wet road?
Just reporting first snow, 6", with Sumimoto 205.60.16 Ice Edge snow tires on 16"Austin wheels, GREAT. Soft tire, slows cornering cheap really grips, comfortable.
they are ok tires. not the best to stretch, ive cooked through 2 sets now and... still not to impressed sadly
I've had the sumitomos before. they were ok, quieter but not very grippy. They looked awesome though. They also sucked when it was cold ( turned into bricks and thumped until they warmed up )
