Technoweenie Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Wondering if anyone else is thinking of going Sailun winter tires this season? I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of Sailun tires for my 2.5i Legacy. Seems to be quiet a bit of positive around the net for these. Mostly doing commute driving, but my neigbourhood seems to never get plowed. Looking at a set of 205/60/16 on a 16x6.5 steel wheel. My Legacy is the premium model with OEM 17" but I don't think I have the larger brakes that the GTs have. Looks like plenty of clearance for a -1 size. Like the narrower tires in winter for better plowing thru slush. Less riding up on top. I realize they are low end tires. Not looking for top line performance or ride noise. Other vehicle is a Tucson so... ya. Can't seem to beat the price at PCM online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Fan Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Can't say that I am looking for winter tires at this point.......BUT I went with Triangle Snow Lions a while back and got slagged viciously for using "Chinese" tires.....so far I have used them for 3 years on 3 different Legacy's....2006 LGT sedan....2012 Legacy 2.5i Ltd....2013 Legacy 3.6R.............tires work great in snow, slush and rain..........quiet on dry roads. Mine are 225/50/17 on OEM Subaru mags. My Butt dyno says...same traction as the Nokian WR G2's and Michelin X Ice2's I used before....but quieter and about 60% cheaper to buy...........A friend has used them on his Volvo full time for 4 years and they are still in great shape. There will be folks who just hate the idea of Chinese automotive stuff..but I am old enough to remember when everyone hated Japanese cars too Go for it and write up a report for us all.
