Tires SUMITOMO or Sailun
I was skeptical at first because they were so cheap. But after I did a cross-Canada trip on them I was so impressed by them. They survived nasty potholes. I didn't notice any range loss. Very quiet as well. The grip in wet conditions were far better.
They are very grippy on dry (I'm using 205/45/17), steering response is fantastic, very direct. On wet they seem fine, though I'm driving very cautiously on wet.
sumitomo is significantly better than any no name Chinese tire
You can get new Sailun tires for less than $115each from Big O Tires. They are good tires for the money, basically designed to do exactly what you need. New safe tires that fit a tight budget.
That being said my experience says that the Sailun are a better choice. I have had less comebacks with this brand.
They hold air, haven't gotten popped, and seem to be holding up better than brand new goodyear wrangler tires and new bf Goodrich tires I've had to buy.
Only Chinese tires that are any good are Sailun s637
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.
They lasted about 30000 on my Camry. I had a problem with one of them that I had my local Firestone mount and “balance”. One day I noticed a loss of 3-4psi and subsequently saw a screw in the tire. Had been experiencing a lot of road noise sounded like a helicopter at cruising speeds.
