Tires Sailun or GT Radial
My truck had a brand new set of these when I bought it 4 months ago. They’re doing fine, I’ve done class 4 and 5 trails with them, plenty of traction, as long as they’re aired down they hold up well to sharp rocks. Adequate in the snow. They wear faster than nice AT tires but they’ll get you down the trail.
My 2 cars use sailun. No issues naman. Yung sa subcompact ko 3 years old na goods pa naman. Just had my pickup replaced with sailun also, and no complaints sa performance.
sailuns are great! especially the attrezo elite. yun yung sinalpak ko sa suzuki swift ng kapatid ko. changed how that thing drove (albeit she ran the previous tires to the cords) to the point i actually was genuinely surprised how night/day the difference was especially with soaking up bumps.
On the Forester I put some Radar branded tires on. They were the cheapest Mud + Snow three peak rated tires on Tire Rack. Car drives fine but they are LOUD. I thought a wheel bearing was going out as soon as I put them on (and I'll probably just proactively change the wheel bearings anyways). On the Econoline I got some Ironman tires. Honestly they seem fine, but the van doesn't have the smoothest ride and has a lot of stuff inside bouncing around so I can't judge their ride/comfort. One of the tires had a pretty good hop on the balance machine, though. On the Toyota Pickup I have some GT Radials I put on about 5 years ago and they've been great, no issues in the time I've had them (about 15k miles so far).
I haven't found a post about this tire so I'm just letting others know my experience with this tire. I had these installed on a 2017 Hyundai Accent sedan. Almost 1,500 km have been put on them.
The tires seem to have gotten quieter the longer I have had them on. Tires is pretty quiet for a subcompact car. I have no complaints with the ride quality, braking or wet weather performance.
GT radial UHP AS tires are like $70 a tire, and more than good enough for the street. I even took them on track for a session, and while they are a bit floppy, they're also way better in the rain and more comfortable than most summer tires.
Just get the GT radial IMHO, higher rating (60k miles) and cheaper than Douglas (45k miles).
I'm using sailsun e range tires and they've worked just fine honestly.
There’s two Sailuns on the other Prius - they seem to be OK but feel a little squirmy to me.
I drive a 05 wrx and have had both Blizzak WS80 and GT Radial Ice Pro 3 on it. I only got the GT Radials because I was in grad school and they were cheap. They get the job done, but are definitely not as good as blizzies. Obviously haven't done any scientific tests, but the steering feel is noticeably worse on the radials, stopping distance is much longer, acceleration worse. Frequently notice them understeering significantly on both wet and snowy roads.
