Tires YOKOHAMA or Sailun

SailunTerramax AT2 are good tires on and off road. I run them and they have been good off-road and don't impact my mpg on the highway.

Parents 2018 Forester got ~65k miles on stock Yokohama tires with regular rotations and replaced them with a bit over 3/32” left on them.

I bought the Yokohama BlueEarth winter tires. They worked great. They also meet the traction requirements for things like mountain passes. I didn't notice any change in gas mileage. During COVID we weren't driving much so I just left them on all year and didn't have any issues.

I've put Yokohama Advan Sport A/S on an E39, a 996, a Z4, and my current 986; I've been very happy with them every time. They're usually a little cheaper than other big name brand tires, they're quiet, and they have plenty of grip for our cars.

I took the 996 and E39 to autox and I had to really push the Yokohamas to get them to start slipping.

I have the Yokohamas and I was surprised at how quiet they were

BRAND NEW Yokohama AdvanSport+ A/S tires (Yokohama’s equivalent to Michelin’s Pilot Sport 4 A/S) with less than 600 miles on the tires - no real maintenance (outside of oil changes & tire rotations) needed on this bad boy until at least reaching 105k miles!!

I wholeheartedly endorse yokohamas. OEMish weight, excellent in nasty weather and no excessive noise driving

I’ve used two different Sailun winter tires on two different vehicles (based in the Canadian prairies) and they were decent for a budget tire. Not the same ones as you’ve got posted but they’re much better than an all season.

I my area I could’ve almost gotten four Yokohamas for that price, including mound and balance. So yeah, I think he shafted you.

The worst tire had to be Yokohama geolanders. They would break traction so much in the rain it was terrifying.
