Tires OEM BMW or Sailun

I have sailun e-range EV tires and they've been great for 8K miles so far. People (who don't own them) crap on these tires because they're not a big name but you can't beat the price. As far as traction, they did the trick avoiding a deer on the interstate with a hard brake and little evasive maneuver.

Sailun pricing is really good, and some of the posts i have seen do indeed say range has increased. also, compared to what came on the car, the tire is indeed quieter and smoother.

Great tire, long life, smooth quiet. 80MPH, 110mile per day commute no complaints. Decent in snow and rain too (we live in northern NM). We were concerned but they are just as good or better than your average name brand tire.

Stock Pirellis were shot, tire shop recommended Sailun. $230 a piece, Irvine, CA.

My quick-take after a week of driving:

* Turning radius at slow speeds seems better than the Pirellis. It’s easier to get into parking spaces.

* Ride feels a bit "harder", more vibrations in the cabin now.

* I charge at home to 70% and only go to work and back. Normally get home at 64% SoC, this week been coming home at 65% SoC.

* Everything else feels the same (for now).

Awesome bike, but swap out the stock tires asap.

Swapped my wifes Z4 from runflats to normal.

Pros: better ride, less likely to crack rims, cheaper tyres.

Cons: no spare tyre.

Before I switched I had 4 sidewall tears, one bent wheel, and one cracked wheel. $3000 in damage. After I switched, zero issues a year and a half later. Smoother ride and less road noise too.

I've used Saliun Terramax on my truck. They were not bad, but the tread wore quickly.

Sailun is far from the best, but better than most 3PMS all-seasons.

It was a commonly traversed dirt road, a little soggy after a rain storm and I backed my dad\u2019s brand new 2008 335i into a small mud depression with the right rear only. Result? Absolutely dead immobile
