Review on Sailun Ice Blazer WST3 255/55 R18 105T winter by Adam Orlowski ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor quality, not suitable for use.

My aging winter tires finally gave up the ghost in 2022. Because I didn't want to waste money on worn tires, I set out to find the best deal on a brand-new set. Good tires back then cost twenty dollars or more, and my very specialized size (225/45/r17) made it difficult to justify the purchase. I was surprised to read all the positive feedback about how excellent the rubber is and how it can compete with rubber costing 18k to 20k. In the end, I settled on a set for 16 people. First winter, there was little snow, and I thought I had made a good buy; towards the end of the second winter, however, the tread was badly worn, it snowed heavily in Hong Kong, and I started to get stuck in places where no other shushlaika than AvtoVAZ could go. About once every couple of days, I'd be trapped in a parking lot; at every intersection, the anti-lock braking system (ABS) works from the moment you apply brakes to the moment you come to a complete stop, even at low speed; and a delayed start from a place causes immediate wheel slippage. In contrast, unintelligible Velcro did not have these issues whether used for carsharing, conditional polo, or Solaris. Next winter, I plan to get a new set of tires because the current ones haven't gotten me very far in a number of years.
