Tires SUMITOMO or Sailun
My car came with Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 with about 19k on them. I bought it after a blizzard and was pleasantly surprised at how capable the tires are. We've subsequently had torrential rain and they grip great in the wet too.
The downside is that they're quite noisy.
Personally had to replace the OEM tires on my EUV at around 24k~ miles, after a lot of back and forth I decided to get the Sailun Erange tires and I have around 1k miles on them so far and I have no complaints, I seem to be getting about the same range as before.
I also use sailun. I have the ERANGE Ecopoint 3. And I love them as well
I had Sailun tires on our ice car before we sold it. They were fine, no issues, and price was good.
I’ve driven about 300 miles now in good weather so far. Tires ride nice, maybe not quite as smooth and quiet as the continentals but they don’t have the foam inserts either. 45k warranty as well which means I hope to get maybe 20k?
I went from Sumitomo HTR Z2 tires to Michelin Pilot Super Sport and was left very disappointed in the Michelins. Initial turn in suffered (slight delay from steering input to vehicle changing direction). The Michelins are like sticky gummy bears, the Sumitomos had much stiffer side walls and that made driving far more enjoyable even though they were less sticky.
I have sailun eco range tires on my model 3 performance. They were I think. 860 installed for 4. Maybe less.
As a tire technician I’d suggest going with a set of sailun ice blazers
I almost totalled my RX-8 when my HTRZIII's were not even that bad. Don't get me wrong, they're okay for the price (actually a great drifting tire), but I can't but help think you get what you pay for in terms of how quickly they wear, and especially how bad traction is when they get near the end.
The only tire brand I never liked was Sumitomo. They were always much narrower than spec and seemed to loose grip when you needed it most.
