Tires SUMITOMO or Sailun
Sailun is a cheap Chinese brand but it's damn good in the winter. I think the WS1 or WS2 (studless) is what I had on a rwd car and it handled better than some name brands.
I got around well with Summos in the winter on my Mazda 2
I have Sumitomo Encounter ATs that I like pretty well. On road manners are great and no complaints off-road. They don't look as "cool" as some of the other ATs but they work just as well.
Sailun erange ev. A perfect bang for the buck!
SailunTerramax AT2 are good tires on and off road. I run them and they have been good off-road and don't impact my mpg on the highway.
I got about 30k miles on sumitomos 285/75/16 snow rated, AT. They’ve been solid
I had a set of Sailuns on a Ford Explorer. They rode smoothly and quietly but did not last very long, maybe around 35K miles.
I just had my worn out Continental PureContact LSs ( great tire while they lasted ) replaced with a set of Sailun ERange. It felt life I was driving granddad's Buick on the way home.
Sumitomo HTR A/S P01. I tried them on two different vehicles and they were downright dangerous in the wet and snow, even when brand new.
I know this thread is almost a year old...But it was one of the first things to pop up in Google. I bought a Challenger with the Sumitomo all seasons. 245/45r20. They were terrible tires. I figured I try to get 2 years out of them and it didnt happen. They were manufactured in March 2023. Lasted 12,000 miles before one of them separated from the side wall in November 2024. I got a set of new tires at discount tire and they showed me that 2 of the other tires were starting exactly the same thing. Separating the tread from the side walls. All on the inside so I couldnt see it. The car shook over 75mph...They wouldnt hold air pressure...They were downright dangerous in winter conditions. They were very noisy and wouldnt grip even on a hot road surface.
