Best Performance Tires For 2025 P7 of 7

It will be no surprise that the budget Sunny NA305 finished in last place, and was the worst in everything bar NVH and rolling resistance, and it wasn't just a little bit worse, 40% off in wet braking is tragic. When braking from motorway speeds, where you'd be stopped on the Pirelli, you'd still be doing 44 mph on the sunny. That's bad. Think about hitting a stationary car at 44 mph!.

Rim Protection
None

No rim protector. The sidewall sits flush with the wheel, so a kerb strike goes straight into the rim.

Assessed by eye on the tires we tested, in the sizes listed. No manufacturer publishes rim protection as a specification, so treat this as a guide rather than a measurement.

I have not tested these tires so I can't give you a firm answer, however cheap Chinese brands like Sunny often test to have lower grip in the wet than midrange and premium tires so I would certainly be mindful of the grip in wet conditions. The dealer didn't put them on because they're good tires, the dealer put them on because they're cheap tires.

Feels pretty good in the dry but really twitchy in the wet. Fuel consumption/rolling resistance is good. Can´t tell you about the Noise, due to a loud Exhaust. The Tire feels a bit stiff. All in all still an ok Tire for the Price.

Bought these for my wife’s Nissan… after just shy of 5,000 miles they are both almost bald. Please note the car’s tracking is perfect and tires are equally worn all over.. they give poor feedback, low dry grip and shocking wear, wife also complains that the skid warning light comes on more often with these.. bought her these budget tires to get her car through the MOT, never expected them to need replacing after just 5k miles?!?!

Sunny NA305 tires must be the worst tires I have experienced on a car in my 40 years of driving. I replaced my 2 front tires with a set early August when the weather was a little better.
In the dry, the tires squeal on corners when driving round town, as if they are running soft. In the wet, trying to pull away with any power causes wheelspins and traction control light to come on.
Cornering in the wet is awful. I have noticed it especially coming onto roundabouts where the road surface might be a little more greasy than normal, the front end of the car just gives up grip and will slide. They give no confidence whatsoever driving in the rain, so will not push them to any limits for fear of ending up in a ditch.
I will be returning to the garage I bought them to advise them of the problems, if they value their reputation, they will source another alternate budget tire.
I am going to try them on the rear axle to see how they perform, but will be expecting the car to have slightly different handling issues. Lesson learned, it was all the garage had in stock at the time, and gave me assurance they were of comparable quality to the tires they replaced. I will never buy a budget tire again. I wouldn't even fit these to a wheelbarrow.
