I'm wondering what so good about this? I would never purchase these tires. Michelin have come out with new tires.

Tyre Test Highlights

2015 Test World Summer Tyre Test - 8th of 15 tyres

Positive - Short braking distance in the wet and dry
Negative - Handling not good enough in the dry. Very weak aquaplaning resistance.
Overall - The Landsail LS588 UHP were surprisingly unbalanced. Braking in the wet was excellent, but handling very unstable. In addition, the tyre copes worse than the others with emergency manoeuvres and is quite susceptible to aquaplaning. On dry pavement they again quickly stopped the car, but had very slow response to steering. Lateral grip and stability are too weak for the optimal performance of a sharp manoeuvre at high speed. Because of their softness they demonstrated a high level of comfort, effectively absorbing road irregularities.[/B][/B]

 

It's a Chinese brand which compares with giants.
I would also recommend you read user reviews and not just reviews from companies etc.
I remember I read a lot from user opinions from a French website.
8.7 out of 10 isn't bad for a Chinese brand who can stand next to the best brands for 60%-70% cheaper.

 

I've always sworn by contis for sedans. These tires do seem very unbalanced in performance

You can keep it, I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. And sorry, more so it being Chinese made. They don't have a good rep in building quality. And the reviews came from a web site link you posted.

 

Sorry, have to pass. I'd rather spend money for well known quality tires and piece of mind.

 

"handling very unstable", "surprisingly unbalanced", "worse than the others in emergency braking manoeuvers", "lateral grip and stability are too weak for the optimal performance of a sharp manoeuvre at high speed", "susceptible to hydroplaning".

I'm with RYJS60. These sound awful! Dangerous even. It seems when the driver most needs the tire to perform, these are at their worst.

I'm quite happy with my Michelin Primacy MXM4's. They are highly rated on Tirerack.com and they have performed well for me in my personal experience with them.

 

Chinese JUNK! I got a huge crack on my original windshield and argued with my insurance for days to make sure I get 100% Volvo-branded replacement. They agreed and ordered the windshield from a local Volvo dealership. After installation I noticed distortions around the edges. Everything looked bent. When I observed closely, the glass is manufactured by Fu Yao instead of St. Gobain (France). If I ever find out my S40 is made in China I will set it on fire, but luckily it isn't. As for putting my life at 70mph with Chinese-made tires - hell focking no!

 

I've got my hesitations about China, but recent Chinese made Volvos have been good. They're mostly assembled by robots anyways.

 

Everyone has their own opinions on tires and everyone has their own opinions of what "grip" actually means. What works for some will not work for others based on driving style, horsepower, etc.

I'll believe that these are better than the Michelin Primacy tires, only because Michelin Primacy tires are some of the worst Michelins on the market. But that's just my opinion...
I have become a bit of a grip snob and a lot of the summer tires that I loved a few years ago no longer make the cut. Continental Extreme Contact DW is only "okay." Michelin Pilot Super Sport is still "good."
I prefer my Federals. They are made in China, but it is a known brand and becoming very popular in the tracking community. With a tread wear rating of 140, it's hard to lose grip. But there's also a price to be paid for that kind of grip and how frequently I replace tires.

On the flip side, I put Toyo all season the V50 and I am perfectly content. It's not be thrashed around like the C30 and I prefer the longer life span on a car which is mostly a commuter.

 

I live in a country where unfortunately people don't care what kind of components are put on the car. Random brake-related parts, no-name suspension parts, and "any tyre as long as its round" on a random side and axle - have seen it all and stopped relying on service shops after I was blessed with "Accelera" brand tyres years ago. Definetely worst tyres ever had, no grip on wet (that was great as it rains 350 days a year here), little grip on dry, loud and hard. Used them asap and got Continental ones - transformed the car completely, it was unbelievable how much handling of standard 1.8 S40 have changed, let alone if it was a performance car. Since then I order every tyre set online after extensive research and always end up with something good. Now using Hankooks but they are just "ok". Had better grip on Goodyears Efficentgrip Performance, and even better grip on Dunlop Sport Maxx RT <- best tyres I tried. For less sporty ride but even more grip on rain its worth to go with Uniroyals, and for winter condition finnish Nokians are really respectable here in EU. Not sure what are your options on the other side of Big Pond but no matter what I would agree with others - Chineese tyre = crap. :/

 

My second set of tires = Goodyear Assurance ComforTred Touring. Good thread life with nice soft quiet feel. Love these tires for the S40. On my other car I run Continental ContiProContacts (3rd set), but before that I tried Conti Extreme DWS but the sidewalls were too soft. I quickly switched them back to ContiProContacts.

 

When I was negotiating to buy my 2012 C70, it had a brand new set of Chinese tires that the Audi dealer had installed when he took it in on a trade. I told him I was concerned about the tires because there was not a dealer for that brand where I live and the warranty could be a problem. He let me pick out any medium grade tire from his warehouse to put on the car and I chose the Goodyear Eagle Sport AS. The Goodyears were made in Turkey (it says so on the sidewall) but at least I can get an adjustment if I ever need one.

My son liked my C70 so much that he bought one, too, and his car has Chinese tires. The brand is Ironman. We'll see how they hold up compared to my Goodyears.

Ironman = Paranoid...(Black Sabbath)

 

We've had a couple of sets of Linglong Greenmax UHP:s on different cars (V50 and Toyota Celica GT-Four) with reasonably good results. They've done very well on a few reputable tire tests and from personal experience I'd say that they're well worth their (bargain basement) price, even an alternative to some midrange brand tires. Wet grip and predictability are both very good but when pushed hard on dry asphalt they're no match to high end performance tires. Whenever performance driving, track days and autobahn storming are in order, I'll choose a set of Michelin Pilot Supersports, but for pretty much anything else the UHP is great bang for the buck.

I have no experience of Landsail tires but considering what magazine tests seem to say about them, I might pass.

 

I have recommended the tires because I have read a lot about Landsail before I bought them for one of my cars.
I am using them for 14 months and I am really happy with them.
I admit I have no experience from speeding, hard braking in wet conditions with these tires. I have driven around 5-6 days in rain within city at low speeds, below 65km/h.
The tires are for summer and they have exceeded my expectations in dry roads.
Those who have not experienced or not willing to experience, it's their choice and I accept it.
I never give my opinion on anything I have never tried.
Of course I was really skeptical and afraid of Chinese tires and I have excluded all Chinese brands while I was going to choose tires until I read about Landsail.

I am not writing to tell you that you should try them.

I am really very happy with my Volvo's Michelin Primacy. They are on my car for 6 years and they are still in perfect condition.
As I have tested Landsail on a compact car, I will give a try to a good quality tire for the fraction of the cost of a Primacy.
If I don't like them, I will throw them away in 2 years.

The choice is all yours.

I fully respect your opinion and insight in these tires, and by no means try to deny any of it. After all, you're the one with first hand experience of them whereas I have none. My driving style may be a bit different from yours, every now and then I feel like I could use my speeding ticket collection as wallpaper for a medium-sized room and while that may not represent how most people on this forum drive, my consideration are situations where unexpected hard braking or other manouvers to avoid collision are called for. My wife thinks my driving style is an acid test how tires behave at their limits and, if possible, my son is even worse.

 

BLIZZAKS for snow.

 

Can't speak to the tires listed by the OP, but I can say I will NEVER buy Kuhmo tires again. Bought 2 sets (one for the T5-R and one for the A4) and both were horrible! Flat spots galore and they wore to the steel belts.
