Sailun WST3 delivers in winter tyre test

Sailun Tyre has reported that it recently “out-performed” several significant competitive brands in a winter tyre test conducted by Russian car magazine, ‘Za Rulem’.

The comprehensive test took place on studded 215/65R16 tyres.

Tests on snow and ice were carried out in the Arctic Circle at the Nokian test site, driving the front-wheel drive Volkswagen Tiguan. Tests were carried out using control tyres at temperatures ranging from -25 to -2°C.

A variety of tests were carried out on ice, snow, dry and wet surfaces. The tests covered several capabilities: braking, speed, acceleration, handling, emergency manoeuvres, traction and road holding.

In addition, consideration and marks were given to comfort – internal noise and smooth ride.

The Sailun WST3 performed exceptionally, particularly in the tests for braking distance on ice and rolling resistance and efficiency.

The Chinese brand says its WST3 is a proven pattern with exceptional credentials, for both cars and SUVs, and is available in many sizes ranging from 13 to 20-inch rims.
