Sailun Atrezzo ZSR2

Visually well-made, with no balancing issues and no shaking at highway speeds. The tires perform well on both dry and wet surfaces. The only downside is that they are quite stiff—there was noticeable bumping when new, but it reduced after the break-in period. Overall, these are excellent tires for the price, offering great value for money. I'm quite pleased with them.

Part 2 of the review. I've run the tyres approximately 5000 km's. Car got remapped to 183 hp and 296 N/m, the tyres still grip very well in the dry. However they struggle for traction in damp conditions, but for a FWD car without LSD it's normal.
However, when I changed to the winter tyres, the tread on the front tyres is visibly less than on the rears, I'm estimating 3 or 3.5 mm until they get at the bars. I didn't do any burnouts, but I drove them spiritedly. Next summer I'll rotate them and I think 2025 will be their last year. Very good tyres for the money, but if you drive them hard, I don't think they'll last 20.000 Km.
I'm thinking to get some Toyo Proxes Sport 2, Kumho Ecsta PS71 or Maxxis Victra Sport 5.

Grip is really good. Handling is terrible, but it is my fault I put it on opel astra GTC

Very quiet tires, very nice comfort, real ok handling - for the price, best on market!

I bought a used Skoda Octavia MK4 last summer. The car came with seemingly brand new Sailun Atrezzo ZSR2 tyres in 225/50/17 size and XL load rating.
I have now reached the end of useful life for those tyres and review my experience with them.

The tyres have excellent grip in braking and handling on dry surfaces. I rarely managed to lose traction and if that happened I really needed to thrash on them.
I also rate wet grip as excellent.
The tyres were also comfortable and absorbed bumps quite nicely. Noise was not noticeable until the end of the tyre life, the worn down rear tyres started humming a little of smooth road surfaces. Comfort was ok, but I rated comfort down due to the next paragraph.

Handling wise the tyres are not that good. The fact that they don't lose grip is great but they do not give good confidence since the sidewalls are absolutely too soft. The car acted in such a way I was already considering upgrading shocks and springs since it handled like a boat. Bumpy roads and corners felt downrights scary. So I adjusted my speeds and took everything nice and slow, like a grandpa going to church on Sunday.

Luckily the tyres wore out and I replaced them with Kumho Ecsta PS72 tyres. Wow, what a difference. I do not need to change suspension after all, but that's a story for a different review.

Wear... I have never seen tyres wear out so quickly. I mention buying a used car with seemingly brand new tyres. I do not know the mileage these tyres travelled before me but I only got 16 353 kilometres out of these tyres over 2 summer seasons. They can not have had travelled more than few thousand miles, they did look absolutely brand new. After the first summer season tyres were rotated to allow for more even wear. This spring as summer tyres were installed they had evenly 4.5-5mm of tread left. This got worn down to legal limit in 8622 km of calm easy driving. The ones that were more worn were REARs. Front tyres still had some mileage left but I never unmatch my tyres. Due to the quick wear and scary wallowy handling I did not want to purchase these tyres again.

So there we go. Decent tyres, somewhat okay price ( new Kumhos were acutally same price as Sailuns in my area ) but they wear out very quickly.

This is my last review on these tyres. I drove these tyres quite a lot recently, had some trackdays and a roadtrip around some very nice mountain roads, with dry and wet weather aswell.

Tyres are still performing very well, especially on dry weather. I had a trackday session at the local karting track (1.2 km total lap length), and I've absolutely tortured the front tyres. I didn't manage the tyre pressure prior so I had about 2.3 bars cold which was way too much, it was my first time on the track. Track was hot and ambient temperature was hot aswell.

On the karting track, the tyres got way too hot, and felt very greasy after 2-3 laps, with non existent feedback, understeer and visible tyre graining. I've also driven some laps on a proper car circuit and they behaved a lot better, as the tyres didn't get as hot. When they are at the proper temperature, they have very good grip, and the feedback is quite good. My car is a Fiat Grande Punto T-Jet with over 180 hp and 300 N/m torque, without an LSD (which is understeer heaven).

On wet weather however, lateral grip is not great. Braking is very good, aquaplaning decent, but lateral grip it's not really great. I've tested this prior to going to the trackdays, so the tyres were not grained in any way. The tyres do not inspire confidence when turning in wet. They give the feeling that they'll snap out of traction very sudden. But this is if you push them, and try to drive them a bit faster in wet. If you're conservative, they are very good.

Sailun is the only chinese tyre manufacturer from what I know, that's FIA certified and provided tyres for F4 Chinese and TCR Asia. It seems that the motorsport R&D is put to very good use on the road tyres. These are the absolute best budget UHP tyres that you can get. If you're looking for a best bang for the buck, this is the tyre for you.

For me personally, I would buy them again, for sure. The next set however it's going to be Kumho Ecsta Sport PS72, can't wait for Jon's review on those.

Great tyre for the price.

I got a deal on a set of Sailun Atrezzo ZSR2 as I was trying to find the best bang for the buck summer tyre. I've read through tons and tons of reviews here, and watched lots of videos. I was especially interested in a tyre that was tested by ADAC. I purely got them as the wet braking distance in the wet is not that far off a Michelin. I got them mid-June 2024, now early September 2024. I drove them approximately 2000-2500 km's.

They are very, very good, especially on dry weather, they have a lot of grip and the handling is very precise. I drove them hard on some twisty roads and they handle fantastic, road feedback is good. I drive a tuned 1.4 T-Jet Fiat Grande Punto with around 150 hp.

On wet they are fine, I had no issues on wet. However I'm driving slower and very cautiously on wet weather. They behave really good. I think from the budget Chinese made tyres, Sailun are the best choice you could get.
