Meeting all-season demand: Inside the Sailun Atrezzo 4Seasons Ultra
The all-season tyre market has continued to evolve in recent years, shaped by changing driver priorities and increasingly unpredictable day-to-day conditions.
In Ireland, motorists are looking for products that can deliver genuine versatility without compromise: dependable wet-weather safety, reassurance on cold mornings, and confident everyday handling throughout the year, all without the cost and inconvenience of changing tyres seasonally.
This helps make the all-season category a relevant option for the Irish tyre trade. The Sailun 4Seasons Ultra has been developed to answer that demand, combining technical innovation with the practical realities of how modern drivers use their vehicles.
Understanding Today’s Consumer Needs
Ireland faces many of the same pressures seen across other European markets, not least the rising cost of vehicle ownership. Whether considering the expense of a second seasonal set or simply looking for a more practical year-round option, motorists are often drawn to tyres that can balance value, convenience and safety. In a market where wet roads, standing water, occasional frost and variable temperatures are all part of normal driving life, a quality all-season tyre can offer a highly practical solution for many drivers.
This consumer insight directly shapes the Sailun 4Seasons Ultra’s design philosophy. Rather than focusing on one single performance characteristic, Sailun has engineered a balanced product that addresses the safety, efficiency and comfort expectations drivers now place on year-round mobility.
Engineering for Year-Round Confidence
When drivers choose an all-season tyre, their main priority is confidence across changing road and weather conditions. Sailun addresses this through advanced tread design and compound innovation. The 4Seasons Ultra features Sailun’s proprietary EcoPoint3 technology.
This advanced compound, developed through the advanced liquid-phase mixing process, is designed to deliver wear resistance and consistent performance across a broad temperature range, helping the tyre remain effective from colder winter conditions through to warmer summer driving. The tread design works in tandem with this compound.
A wide directional V-groove layout helps accelerate water evacuation and resist aquaplaning, low-density straight sipes maintain tread block rigidity, and a central F-block design supports stiffness and pattern stability. A dedicated winter-focused groove layout further enhances traction in colder conditions, helping drivers stay prepared for the realities of year-round use.
Efficiency and the EV Transition
Fuel and energy costs remain a key consideration for motorists, while the continuing shift towards electric mobility means retailers increasingly need products that can support higher torque and heavier vehicle weights without unnecessarily compromising efficiency. The 4Seasons Ultra carries EV-ready marking and is designed for internal-combustion, hybrid and fully electric vehicles.
Its EcoPoint3 compound is engineered to reduce abrasion and energy loss, helping to support fuel efficiency and battery range while maintaining balanced all-season performance. Alongside efficiency, everyday refinement also matters. Especially in quieter electrified vehicles, drivers increasingly expect low noise and good ride comfort. The Sailun 4Seasons Ultra uses optimised pitch variation technology to reduce road noise and deliver a more comfortable, premium-feeling driving experience.
Proven Performance Metrics
Retailers need strong proof points to communicate value to their customers. The Sailun 4Seasons Ultra delivers impressive headline EU tyre label values. Across the primary size range, the tyre boasts an ‘A’ rating for wet grip—a crucial safety selling point. It also achieves headline ‘B’ ratings for both fuel efficiency and noise, providing a compelling all-around package for the price point.
Independent testing has provided a strong proof point for the Sailun Atrezzo 4Seasons Ultra. In the 2025 Auto Bild All Season Tyre Test (Issue 39/2025), the 225/40R18 size achieved a ‘GOOD’ result, with the test highlighting short braking distances on wet and dry roads, above-average resistance to cornering aquaplaning, and class-leading rolling resistance.
In cost-related disciplines, the tyre also stood out for its strong value proposition, with long service life and an attractive purchase price contributing to an excellent cost-per-kilometre ratio. The low rolling resistance further supports fuel efficiency and can help reduce CO₂ emissions. Under the tested conditions, the tyre recorded: 46.1 m in wet braking against a competitor average of 47.6 m; 24.9 m in snow braking against 25.15 m; 7.35 kg/t in rolling resistance against 8.22 kg/t.
Ireland Availability
In Ireland, Sailun passenger car tyres are distributed through Bantry Tyres, with the 4Seasons Ultra already available in a wide range of fitments. This gives the product a clear route to market as Sailun continues to expand its passenger car offering for Irish motorists seeking practical, year-round versatility.
For drivers focused on convenience, value and all-weather usability, the Sailun 4Seasons Ultra gives Irish retailers a proven, highly capable and technologically advanced option, with coverage spanning 13- to 21-inch rim diameters and widths from 155 mm to 275 mm.
