Landsail LS388 AS Reviews - Page 3

Purchased these after a bit of reading up and to replace brand new Infinity tires that had been fitted by the dealer prior to sale. Needless to say the Inifinity's were absolutely dire, with zero feedback the car felt like it was ice all of the time. You just didn't feel 100% in control of the car in any weather.
One went these Landsails.
Now, bearing in mind these are still very "cheap tires" but the difference was to be honest like chalk and cheese in comparison to Infinity.
These are quiet, comfortable, with what I believe is the most important factor....good feedback.....
I am sure there are better big brand tires available with regards to scientific on the limit testing, but for as long as you don't drive like "a loon" these really are a good reliable choice. They do their job commendably.
I am no skinflint by a long shot but for everyday use I would not warrant anything else.
If you are 'The Stig', yes by all means get the BBC to pay for more expensive rubber to thrash around your track.
If you are like me with a daily drive that is done mostly within the confines of normal driving, these are shockingly good value for money, with no massively regrettable downsides noted....quiet, grippy, reliable, long lasting.

These were present on the front of my MK3 Focus when I took ownership just over a year ago with around 7mm of tread on them, I had heard of the Landsail brand prior to this but never owned this make of tire (A couple of people suggest they are ATS Euromaster's best budget seller?). Luckily as I took ownership of the car at the start of spring and into the hot summer of 2018 with next to no rain - the mere highlight of the tire was evident as they performed pretty well in the dry and somewhat comfortable while on the motorway and also once warmed up.

However at the first sight of heavy rain it was a different story, traction was hindered and just about every sharp turn at speed caused the front to loose control in no time at all. Setting off from junctions in the wet, be it to turn left, right or even to travel straight ahead caused a wheel spin at just about every given opportunity & without giving it any welly.

Fast forward to the present, the midst of winter in January 2019 & 10,000 miles later - I've finally had enough of them, despite still having 4mm of tread left but I suppose the wear factor on these isn't bad. I was slightly shocked as well to see that both the tires were starting to show very tiny cracks along the sidewalls so needless to say I wanted shot of these.

I've just replaced them with some new Falken's, a brand which I have used in the past with success and even though it's very early days yet - they are already making me feel more comfortable with driving the car in the wet. I suppose with the Landsail's at roughly £50.00 a corner in my tire size, and along with other budget brands - there is only so much you're going to get out of them. Sadly in the 215/50/17 fitment a lot of other Focus MK3 owners out there will opt for budget's regardless due to the high price tag that follows with the more premium brands.

Needed some tires to get through an MOT in a hurry, the garage had these in stock and they came recommended. Was shocked to discover just how inferior they are compared to the badly worn Barum Bravuris 3HM's that were fitted previously. In dry conditions, they are OK, just noisy at motorway speeds. But it is in wet conditions that these tires truly let themselves down. Traversing a roundabout in even in the most lightly moist of conditions is akin to sliding across an ice rink, (unless driving at funeral procession speeds is your thing), and don't even think about pulling away briskly at a junction, unless you want to induce instantaneous wheel spin. Even giving it the beans in third or fourth will have these tires squabbling for grip on a damp road. In recent years, I've had vastly superior tires than these for the money, in fact, these are on par, if not worse than the budget specials I once bought when I was a broke student. Never again for me.

not bad for the money paid £77 for two fronts fitted a year ago. only done 8k and they're being replaced with Avons / Firestones. We've done over 200k in this model of Doblo in 13 years. There aren't that many XL brands to fit and these cars are heavy on front tires. todays trip was nearly 63mpg. we've been averaging around 53mpg on Landsil. yes i'd recommend if you need to save pennies. we didn't and i'd rather fuel economy as this is a second car in a low use rural family. runs are either 25 mile or 100 mile round trips. plus maybe four 500 mile round trips a year. was so desperate to have new fitted before the promised snow we took in stock GT Radial City FE1. they initially appear very quiet in comparison to the last year. handle well for braking and initially show 10mpg better. I know this will drop off and will review again when they're end of life! actually enjoyed driving the shed again today as the steering is much less heavy

I bought these tires for my Seat Leon FR 2.0 tfsi to replace Pirelli summer tires on the front. I did a lot of research first and would have preferred to have a higher end brand but money is tight so went for these at £84 the pair delivered, from eBay. I have to say I'm extremely impressed! These tires are barely different from the Pirellis they replaced. They are sturdy to drive on even in this low profile size, not 'squishy' at all. They grip incredibly well in both wet and dry, I was concerned that I might lose some of the handling ability and would have to drive more carefully but I have not had to alter my style at all. I can continue to throw the car about as it was designed for! They cope well on country lanes, town roads and motorways. After having them fitted I attempted to wheel spin off some traffic lights and the tires did not want to; spinning slightly but easily finding grip and pulling away despite not being worn in yet. Also performed an emergency stop test which was to my satisfaction. For the money these are exceptionally good and well above my expectations. The only time they really lose grip is when I brake hard on a poorly positioned manhole cover on my road in the wet, which sometimes causes my ABS to kick in. An ideal all round budget tire.
