I had a set of Indy500; they performed well for a UHP for the price, but definitely noticeable difference with the set of Conti ExtremeContact Sport 02s that replaced them.
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
General G-Max RS or Firestone Indy 500s are solid options aswell with good grip and way friendlier pricing. I ran Indy 500s on my old Camaro and they felt great in normal driving without being loud or sketchy in the rain.
Cooper and Firestone make decent tires if you don't plan on tracking it.
Those are good tires but way too heavy at 44lbs vs 24lbs for stock tires.They will kill your mileage and performance. I went with Firestone destination at2 in 235/65 r17. Only a few pounds more (28lbs) than stock and they perform great!
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.
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.
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.
I went to them for new tires on my Hyundai, my car had 96k on the originals, the wear was even and they still had decent tread. Guess what, they said I needed alignment.
