Tires NANKANG or Sailun

I have nankang econex'es on my project car. Honestly they're fine. Drove them in the rain recently and never lost grip.

I have just about 10k miles on my Sailun ERange and I have found them to be a great purchase. I noticed better traction in rainy/wet conditions and a slight decrease in noise. I just need to experience some snow and ice to see how they do.

I've been on the 245/40/15 CRS V2s for all this season - on the front of a FWD (A052s on the rear). I got somewhere around 120 runs out of them and they felt pretty good right up until the end.

I ran a pair of 225/45-15 CRS this year. Good grip, didn't mind getting hot, wore quickly.

They're actually pretty good especially for the price in terms of snow and ice performance. Very comparable to the top brands. It's a bit louder though.

Sailun makes a great tire for the price though, I ran my last set of ATs for 50,000 kms and still had enough tread life to get $200 for them on Marketplace.

Sailun is a legit tire manufacturer. You get what you pay, but should be safe for normal operation.  I changed from Michelin PS4S (worn out at 29k mile) to Sailun, clearly feel handling is worse above 80 mph.

I will say the nankangs also suffer more in the rain (could be temp related too, but feels like they don’t evacuate water as well)

Sailuns are cheap Chinese crap.

I had been looking for a secondhand setup and got a great deal on these. I likely would not have chosen the Nankangs myself. Wet traction is awful, and I break loose from stoplights in dry conditions really often.
