The Wanli E01 tire was launched in 2025, and a minor redesign was introduced in 2026 to enhance its wear resistance. Therefore, I purchased it at the recommended retail price through the brand's official sales channel. It may have some manufacturer-related issues or be the original XL structure model, not the upgraded HL structure version.
I switched the Dunlop RS to the rear wheels and the Wanli E01 to the front wheels. My car is a Lynk & Co 06 with front-wheel drive. I've driven it for nearly 1,000 kilometers, mostly for high-speed inter-city commuting. Overall, the noise insulation is better than that of the Michelin Hoya 5 and Yokohama V553 I've used before. This might be due to the sound-absorbing cotton technology. The steering feel of these tires is very comfortable, with moderate pressure and linearity. The steering feels much more natural and even compared to the Hoya 5.
In terms of grip, it is slightly weaker than the Michelin Hymet 5 and V553 on dry roads, but the difference is not significant. On wet roads, there is no discernible difference. It exhibits a bit more delay in acceleration and braking response compared to the other two. However, its lateral grip performance in corners is excellent and more composed.
In terms of vibration damping performance, it is not as soft as Michelin tires, nor as hard and rigid as the V553. It has a certain degree of elasticity and provides overall comfort.
Overall, as a low-rolling-resistance EV tire, I think it can also be used in gasoline-powered cars, offering excellent comfort. It's a great companion for long-distance travel, but it's not suitable for aggressive driving, since its very name indicates it is oriented toward comfort and energy efficiency.

Tables are ranked by TR Score, which rates each tire out of 10 using independent test results and owner reviews weighted by how much evidence backs them. Unscored tires link to their pages, where a review counts towards a score.
Wanli EU label data
10 of the 24 tires on record carry EU label data. These are the range's label headliners, using each tire's best available size figures.
B Best wet grip
4 tires reach EU wet grip class B. The highest scoring:
B Lowest rolling resistance
The most fuel efficient choice: 3 tires reach rolling resistance class B. The highest scoring:
67dB Quietest tires
The quietest tires in the range are labelled from 67 dB external noise:
Label values come from the EU EPREL database and vary by size - the figures here are each tire's best declared size. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict: the tests and rankings above tell you far more.
New Wanli tires
The newest arrival in the range is the Wanli EraComfort e01. 1 tires have joined in the last two years:
| Tire | Season | On the market since | TR Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wanli EraComfort e01 | Summer | 2026 | not yet scored |
New tires take time to earn a TR Score - tests have to be run and owner reviews have to arrive. A missing score is a data gap, not a verdict.

The most recent reviews, in their own words
This is the factory-fitted tire. It's soft and comfortable, with low rolling resistance, reduced power consumption, and excellent quietness. Its comfort level is probably comparable to the Continental Ultra Contact 7, but it's more comfortable and durable than the Kumho ES01 (KH27). My car is a front-wheel-drive electric vehicle, and with 14,000 kilometers, the front Wanli H220 tires show almost no signs of wear.
I put the Kumho ES01 on the rear axle (honestly, I'm still a Kumho fan), and after only a few thousand kilometers, a large, deep crack appeared on the Kumho ES01's tread. Fortunately, the dealer gave me half the purchase price as compensation.
The mileage on both pairs of tires with different tread patterns is less than 10,000 miles, so I can only speak subjectively about their durability. I'll provide further evaluations later.
The Wanli H220's wet braking performance is slightly weak, and its handling is mediocre (perhaps because my car is a multi-purpose vehicle). These are the only weaknesses I've noticed so far.
The performance isn't comparable to the more expensive Michelin Prima 5 and Continental UC7 (approximately 600 RMB), but at around 300 RMB per tire in China, it's definitely worth the price.
Compared to other affordable tires, this tire may be more suitable for pure electric vehicles.
