Tyre reviews Sailun Terramax A/T 1126

Hello gentlemen and possibly ladies, I thought I'd leave my opinion on this tire. I was initially against Chinese tires, but the economic factor took over at this stage, as the price per set was around 21,000. I read a few reviews online, found some YouTube tests from Americans, who, as I understand, have been selling this tire on their market for a long time. The tire is quite soft and quiet, which surprised me, as the tread is quite aggressive. It handles

The car is used for small off-road trips (for some it's off-road), the highway to the country house, and the city to work, so in all directions this tire is 5+ , I can note the highway - very quiet for such a fairly aggressive tire, and also winter, I drove in different temperature ranges from -20 to 0 degrees, the tire does not become hard, holds the road perfectly, whether it's a snowy highway, slush, or icy overpasses (but of course, we don't turn off our brains), in winter on snowy turns it does not skid. This is not my first A/T and I will say that it is the best I've had, although when I bought it, I had doubts about its Chinese origin.

Among the advantages - quite aggressive tread, relief inscriptions on the sidewall, soft (thanks to which the joints and unevenness pass comfortably), light and quiet, showed itself perfectly on snow, snow slush and ice.

Among the disadvantages - very thin sidewall - easily pierced, due to which over time it is likely to have bulges. Also, the downside of softness - doubts in terms of wear resistance. The tread is narrow (1-2 cm narrower) and the size is slightly smaller compared to analogs of non-Chinese production. In general, the impression has formed that it is cheaper by as much as there is less material in it.

I bought Terramax A.T 245/75 R16 in February as part of a promotion at Mosavtoshin. At first, I was a bit skeptical, given the very good price, but after reading reviews, I decided to take the risk. And now I'm paying my dues, so to speak. I'm extremely satisfied with the tires. They arrived quickly with delivery, everything is fresh, and they smell like new tires - it's great! I waited until mid-March, the snow melted, and I immediately replaced them - in St. Petersburg, of course, snow is not a novelty even in May, but I was counting on my UAZ and A/T capability in case of an emergency. At least I didn't have to wait in line. And, of course, this case paid off in full. By the end of May, I had driven 4,000 km, and I had to do it in the most disgusting conditions. The snow fell again, and I urgently needed to pick up relatives from the countryside, drive them around, fix the disconnected light, and so on - in general, I had no choice but to drive. On dry roads, it's boring - UAZ is not a Grand Cherokee, it doesn't stimulate you to fly, 110 km/h is no problem, everything is as expected. But the snow was a pleasant surprise. Firstly, driving on snow is like in winter - I broke through snowdrifts on the road 40-50 cm high without any problems. An icy road is scary, but it's drivable, and if you drive carefully, it's quite tolerable. Only once did the car skid on an obviously icy road in a wet snowfall at -2°C, and even then, the steering system worked clearly, and after 20 meters, the car continued to drive smoothly. I turned on the four-wheel drive, and the problem disappeared altogether. I haven't tested it on off-road yet, but judging by how it handled snow-covered roads, it should handle it quite well. In conclusion, I highly recommend these tires - before this, I had Cooper A/T3 on my Grand Cherokee 2, and in terms of feel, this tire is no worse, and I didn't even test the Cooper in such harsh snow conditions. It's good tires in general, I really liked them.

When I bought the car, I had to choose the tires. I didn't plan to buy a full-size tire right away, as I still had to drive on the road, and the idea of installing a mud tire didn't appeal to me. I began to choose among AT tires, as there were plenty of options available, but neither the price nor the appearance of any particular model suited me. I then came across this tire, a copy of the Hankook Dynapro, at a price that

If you read the description of the tires, it's very easy to choose the right tire for your needs.

After driving on GoodYear Wrangler M/T, I really wanted more comfortable tires. I don't go off-road. And driving anywhere is not a problem with four-wheel drive and huge clearance.

At first, I bought 16" Ovaton A/T. They started installing by marks - very strong imbalance. Rolled 180 degrees, it turned out to be much better. But even by the color of the rubber, it was clear that this was a mass-produced product. As a result, I bought 18" disks and new Sailun Terramax A/T tires.

And from the very first meters, I couldn't believe my ears! I've never encountered such quiet tires, even in the passenger segment. The tires are inaudible! There are also no complaints about handling. The tread is deep, the mixture is soft.

But the manufacturer claims this tire as summer!

And with the arrival of the first frosts, I went to install non-studded Bridgestone, because after a night's stay in the courtyard, the effect of square tires was fully felt) They became hard and noticeably more rigid at low temperatures. Therefore, I definitely do not recommend them to Redisks who drive in winter and summer on the same A/T tires, nor do I recommend any other tire except winter ones)

But the same Wranglers do not become hard even after 6 seasons of operation at low temperatures.

Hi everyone! I recently bought a set of tires for my friend and after a lot of research and reading reviews, I finally decided on this model. I've only driven about 150 km in the city so far, but the real test was yet to come. On Tuesday, March 24th, a big snowstorm hit Penza, and the roads were a mess - a mix of slush, ice, and snow. And that's when the real surprise happened! The tires performed amazingly

Silent, soft, and road-holding.

I purchased this tire at the end of 2022, but installed it only on January 17, 2023. The size is 245/70 R16.

I chose to buy an all-season tire because we didn't have a real winter this year. There's some snow in places, but not much. That's why I decided to buy Sailun after reading reviews.

So, my first impressions: the tire is quiet, soft, and handles the road well. There were no problems when installing the tire on the rims, and it balanced quite well (I had to rotate one tire on the rim, but that was due to an issue with the rim itself), with weights ranging from 10 to 50 grams. The tread looks powerful and confident. Honestly, I'm still a bit skeptical about Chinese tires, as this is the first one I've bought. We'll see how it performs off-road in the spring and summer.

My first kilometers on asphalt: the car drives smoothly, handling has become "sharper", and tram rails are almost imperceptible when crossing them, even considering that my car's suspension is quite stiff.

I deliberately drove on ice: as expected, it's slippery. After all, it's not a dedicated winter tire, but an all-season one. However, there are positive reviews about its handling on ice - that's not entirely true. You need to be careful, just like with any tire.

Snow, or rather, snow mush: it's excellent here, the tire grips beautifully!

I haven't tested it on mud yet, couldn't find any in the surrounding area :-)))

What I didn't like about the tire: purely aesthetically, it looks narrower, like a 225/75 rather than a 245/70. This is probably due to the steep sidewall taper. But in theory, this should give an advantage on viscous, muddy off-road terrain. We'll see. I'm still getting used to it.

I didn't buy it here:
-information will be useful for those who plan to use these tires for year-round use!.
-the total mileage on these tires is 30,000 km or two and a half years of year-round use on a Niva Travel.
-the geography of operation, from the very hot steppes of the Volgograd region to the snowy cold Karelian forests.
-so, regarding the tire-: it's excellent!, it balances well, makes a moderate noise, and grips well on any surface.
-SNOW, loose - excellent, you can even drive without chains: compacted snow is also good, but don't overdo it:
-ICE - it's okay, but Niva is not for the faint of heart (on a 4x4 with one driving wheel I wouldn't risk it on these tires).
-MUD, acceptable passability, the tire's self-cleaning is great (we don't count clay, as all AT tires perform poorly on it). Bring a shovel with you.
-WATER - a lot of water on the road, slow down, the tire likes to float on this water, but you don't)) aquaplaning is present and pronounced.
-SAND: everything is fine on any sand. If you want to drive very calmly on loose sand, deflate to 0.8-1, and any desert is yours!
-STONES: here, everything is fine, I didn't drive too high in the Caucasus mountains, didn't deflate, and didn't tear anything, although the sidewall doesn't inspire confidence..
-ASPHALT: here, you just drive and enjoy, listening to music or watching the road. The tire wear is average (between Michelin and Bridgestone).
-personally, I didn't measure it, but judging by the appearance, it's around 3-5 mm of wear over the specified period of time.
-CONCLUSION: the tire fully satisfied me!, during the operation, there was not a single puncture, blowout, or other unpleasant incident!, I was looking for a universal tire and found it! Winter-spring-summer-autumn + constant full-time four-wheel drive is my option:) Will I buy it again? No, I won't, I need to try something new.
-All the best, take care, and respect other road users.
