Review Summary
Based on 8 user reviews
Drivers generally describe the Sailun Atrezzo ZSR2 as an excellent budget UHP tire with strong dry grip and reassuring wet braking, often feeling like a “best bang for the buck” option. Many also report good comfort and low noise, plus solid build quality with easy balancing. A smaller but notable group mentions drawbacks such as soft/less confidence-inspiring handling on some cars, reduced wet lateral traction when pushed, and faster-than-expected wear (especially with spirited driving).
Strengths
- Great value for money / strong performance for the price
- Very good dry grip and braking
- Good wet performance (especially braking) for a budget tire
- Generally comfortable and quiet
- Good build quality and balancing (stable at highway speeds)
Areas for Improvement
- Handling confidence issues on some vehicles (soft sidewalls / vague or wallowy feel)
- Wet lateral grip/traction can feel less secure when pushing (damp or wet cornering)
- Faster wear than expected
- Especially with hard/spirited driving
Top 3 Sailun Atrezzo ZSR2 Reviews
However, when I changed to the winter tires, the tread on the front tires is visibly less than on the rears, I'm estimating 3 or 3.5 mm until they get at the bars. I didn't do any burnouts, but I drove them spiritedly. Next summer I'll rotate them and I think 2025 will be their last year. Very good tires for the money, but if you drive them hard, I don't think they'll last 20.000 Km.
I'm thinking to get some Toyo Proxes Sport 2, Kumho Ecsta PS71 or Maxxis Victra Sport 5.
Latest Sailun Atrezzo ZSR2 Reviews
I have now reached the end of useful life for those tires and review my experience with them.
The tires 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 tires were also comfortable and absorbed bumps quite nicely. Noise was not noticeable until the end of the tire life, the worn down rear tires started humming a little of smooth road surfaces. Comfort was ok, but I rated comfort down due to the next paragraph.
Handling wise the tires 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 tires wore out and I replaced them with Kumho Ecsta PS72 tires. 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 tires wear out so quickly. I mention buying a used car with seemingly brand new tires. I do not know the mileage these tires travelled before me but I only got 16 353 kilometres out of these tires 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 tires were rotated to allow for more even wear. This spring as summer tires 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 tires still had some mileage left but I never unmatch my tires. Due to the quick wear and scary wallowy handling I did not want to purchase these tires again.
So there we go. Decent tires, somewhat okay price ( new Kumhos were acutally same price as Sailuns in my area ) but they wear out very quickly.
Tires 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 tires. I didn't manage the tire 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 tires got way too hot, and felt very greasy after 2-3 laps, with non existent feedback, understeer and visible tire graining. I've also driven some laps on a proper car circuit and they behaved a lot better, as the tires 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 tires were not grained in any way. The tires 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 tire manufacturer from what I know, that's FIA certified and provided tires for F4 Chinese and TCR Asia. It seems that the motorsport R&D is put to very good use on the road tires. These are the absolute best budget UHP tires that you can get. If you're looking for a best bang for the buck, this is the tire 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.
They are very, very good, especially on dry weather, they have a lot of grip and the handling is very precise. I drove them hard on some twisty roads and they handle fantastic, road feedback is good. I drive a tuned 1.4 T-Jet Fiat Grande Punto with around 150 hp.
On wet they are fine, I had no issues on wet. However I'm driving slower and very cautiously on wet weather. They behave really good. I think from the budget Chinese made tires, Sailun are the best choice you could get.
