Tires DUNLOP or Sailun

I will resurrect this just because my car came with Sailun Atrezzo 480. I bought a 3rd gen Prius 4 years ago with 76K and it now has 142K. The tires have been fine & just getting to the wear bars. I was going to replace them at first but kind of tested them for traction in dry and rain and they seemed to grip good. I was just tire shopping and was going to get Michelins but decided on another set of Sailuns since I have been happy with them and it was $680.00 compared to $250.00. I would not have considered them if they did not come on the car but now that they have proven themselves I am getting another set. Yes you get what you pay for but these have been as good as anything else for a daily driver.

Handling wise they were excellent, although, i havent tried a more premium tire on those rims yet, but in terms of the continentals i had as summer tires on a 15" rim before i upgraded they are WAY BETTER around corners, but that comes from there being alot less sidewall than the 15" with the continentals, i can take way steeper turns faster then what i could with the smaller rim.

Recently got a set of Sailun AT light truck 275/70r18’s…definitely budget tires & definitely quality tires ie good bang-for-buck

Dunlop Q5‘s love my last one, Never had a problem with it,

The Dunlop Q s r amazing . Better than stock tires IMO

Mine are nearly totally bald at 10k from aggressive cornering. Very good traction in wet and dry. Unbelievable really.

They are not a bad tire. There are better options but these will do well in most driving conditions.

I say keep unless you are drowning in money.

Went sideways driving on ice last year in the OEM Dunlops, and while it was kinda fun, it was terrifying to experience zero traction even at low speed.

Now that I have a proper set of Blizzaks, it’s like night and day. Insane traction and way better stopping power.

The very first storm I had my 22 on stock the Dunlop’s I slid through a whole intersection with abs thumping the whole time I was NOT prepared for how bad they were.
