The Sailun Atrezzo ZSR2 is an economy summer touring/UHP-style tyre that consistently delivers strong value, pairing good everyday refinement with capable grip for the money. Drivers commonly praise its dry traction, low noise and comfortable ride, while independent tests back up respectable wet performance and particularly strong aquaplaning resistance. Where it falls short is longevity: both users and tests repeatedly flag fast wear. Performance can also be a little inconsistent at the limit, especially in wet cornering and in some braking scenarios versus premium rivals.
In normal road use, the Atrezzo ZSR2 comes across as an easy tyre to live with: it's generally quiet, rides acceptably comfortably, and provides reassuring dry grip and braking for an economy option. Wet performance is typically described as competent for daily driving, and professional results reinforce that it can be competitive on key safety measures in the rain-most notably aquaplaning resistance-while also standing out for excellent rolling resistance/fuel efficiency.
The main trade-off is durability and polish. Rapid tread wear is the most consistent complaint and a repeat test weakness, meaning the low purchase price can be offset if you cover high mileages or drive hard. Handling feel is also less crisp than more expensive alternatives, with a softer, less precise steering response and reduced confidence when pushing in wet corners. Braking performance in tests can vary by surface and methodology, so while it can be solid, it's not uniformly class-leading. Overall, it's best viewed as a strong-value summer tyre for everyday driving that prioritises efficiency and decent wet security, but not long life or premium-level precision.

It has already been one full summer season for these tires on my 2004 525i RWD with staggered setup of 245/35R19 front and 275/30R19 rear on Style 172 wheels. So far travelled around 12’000km and I’m really happy with the tire. Around 70-80% of the mileage was done on highway speeds at 130-150kmh. The tires feel stable and grippy on both wet and dry conditions. What I really liked is that the sidewall is on the softer side (which could be a negative aspect for some), which gives lot more comfort for a low profile tire, as well as no tramlining which was an issue with the old tires (Marshal MU12, Falken Azenis FK510). They are also really quiet tires. The wear is really good, only 15g of balance needed in the front after 10k km, and no balance needed in the back. They wear even, no vibrations or other degradations developed over those 12k km. I was rather sceptical before buying them, but I am really happy I went with Sailun ZSR2. Amazing tire for the low price, will definintely buy again.
The Sailun Atrezzo ZSR2 tires are decent budget summer tires, but they have some noticeable weaknesses. On a car with a well-tuned chassis like the BMW G21, they lack steering precision and overall handling compared to better-quality tires. Despite being properly balanced, they also developed vibrations that were most likely caused by temporary flat spots after standing. Noise levels are acceptable—they are moderately quiet, but nothing exceptional. Overall, they offer reasonable value for the price, but I would not buy them again.

Running ZSR2 on my Tesla Model 3 Performance. On paper, the specs are great (EU label B/A/69dB), and they are honestly quiet and comfy for daily driving. However, wet grip is a weak point—I find the ESC kicking in too easy on wet corners.
The wear rate is the real dealbreaker: 1.6mm (rear) and 1.0mm (front) gone in just 2,500 miles. At this rate, even with frequent rotations, they’ll hit the wear bars by 12,300 miles. They might be cheap to buy, but the poor longevity makes them a bad value in the long run.
Tires wore out rather quickly, got one season out of them, lasted more like 20K Km if even that, otherwise good enough grip on dry and wet tarmac, kind of squirrelly/ not very confidence inspiring on gravel, although thats to be expected.
Moved from worn out PZero pz4 (the rears were had 4mm left so stored in case new fronts wear out earlier) and have to say mpg is 22.2 for a L320 4.2 SC RRS which is a wee bit better than the Pirelli’s with road hum reduced at 70+mph. Great alternative although I only expect them to last maybe 10-13K miles whereas the previous lasted 18-20 but at just half the price. Bodes well.
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.
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.
