Sailun ICE BLAZER WST1 Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 14 reviews

The Sailun ICE BLAZER WST1 is most often praised for snow traction, with nine favorable accounts against one complaint among 13 owners discussing specific aspects. Five also praise snow handling, and five consider it good value. Eleven of 14 written reviews are positive overall, although one zero score accompanies an enthusiastic account of snow use. Ice grip and steering feel receive too few, conflicting comments to establish a clear pattern. Experience over a full tire life is limited, with only two end-of-life reviews and no follow-up reviews by the same driver.

Good tire, even tho it's made in China, i looked at them at -30 and they were still tender, the traction on deep snow is good, on ice it is a little slippery but still comparable to higher price tire brand. Overall i had a great experience with them.

Working as a management consultant, I rent about 50 cars a year. Recently I was given a Hyundai Sonata, a car I've had before. Not one of my favorites, but a decent mid range sedan in 2013.

Driving home from the airport in 3-5 cms of snow and wintery conditions, I was surprised, even shocked at how hard it was to keep the car tracking straight. Even the slightest acceleration sent the car sliding out of its lane. At this point I was going 50 kms an hour.

Normally I don't check the brand of my rental car tires unless the performance was exceptional in one way or another, but at my first stop, I stooped down to see what kind of tires I was using.

When I saw a the Sailun brand, all became clear. An aggressive looking winter wedge tread pattern does nothing to help these tires in snow.

Stopping distance: terrible
Control while turning, accelerating in a turn: abysmal
Starting off from a stop: not good.

I don't know what these tires, cost they must be cheap, but if you are thinking they are worth the money they are not! A decent mid level all season gives more traction and control.

My personal car has one of the best winter tires on it and to think of what I can accomplish in that car in the same conditions, makes me angry that Sailun is allowed to call these a winter tire.
