The price difference when they first entered Canada around 2010, it was way cheaper. My brother in-law got 14 inch ones for about $100 per tire.

I’ll be in the market for some new snow tires soon. I honestly wouldn’t have given value brands like Sailun a second glance, but with our much more mild winters now, I think I may be checking them out.

Budget winter tires tend to sacrifice wet road traction for snow/ice grip.
Consumers would be wise to wait for independent testing before making the jump.

We don't have a lot of call for winter tyres here in wet Britain (in winter our rain is cold and summer our rain is warn😊), the question I would ask is does the longevity of the tyre and the length of winter justify the extra cost of the more expensive brands, with the cost difference being about $300 cheap to expensive then that's a tyre for the spare wheel and a good lunch while you wait.
It's very easy to let our prejudice against something cheap sway our thinking and so mask an economic advantage.

Fit the Michelin Cross Climate 2s great all round tyre without having to swap out tyres twice a year at about £80 including balance etc we have them on our Subaru Forester and can’t fault them.

How is this an unbiased review when you're wearing a Sailun hat during the Firestone test?

[@lucaseq77]

Typical sellout...

[@CJ-fh5xq]

​@@freakyflowToo bad it's made of Chinese made components.

[@harleydavidson4254]

Could be worse. It could contain American made components.
