    Sailun Tires is a member of the Chinese company Mesnac and was introduced in 2001. The brand focuses on producing economical products with good performance, a longer tread life, and great mileage, and offers a range of tires in different categories, such as all-season, all-terrain, winter, and highway tires.

    The Sailun Terramax HT is an all-season tire designed for use on SUVs and light trucks, and has good off-road capabilities while being an on-road tire. In this Sailun Terramax HT review, we will take a look at some of the features and benefits of the tire, its pros and cons, and SimpleTire’s views on the tire.

    Features and Benefits

    All-season tires are designed for use year-round in dry, wet, or light winter weather conditions, and offer a long tread life, quiet and comfortable driving experience, and optimized performance. Due to all these benefits and the year-round use, all-season tires are popular among drivers and are one of the most sold tire categories.

    If you are looking for an all-season tire for your SUV or light truck without spending a lot, this Sailun Terramax HT can be a good choice for you. The Terramax HT features full-depth siping, 4-channel zigzag grooves, an open shoulder tread channel, and more. These are some of the noteworthy features and benefits of the tire:

    • Off-road capabilities: This tire can be driven on- and off-road with confidence, thanks to full-depth siping.
    • Enhanced grip: The 4-channel zigzag grooves maximize water drainage for improved handling and grip in all weather conditions.
    • Improved wet grip: The open shoulder tread channel design helps evacuate water from the tread for better wet grip.
    • Comfortable driving experience: The optimized pitch sequence of shoulder tread blocks reduces road noise.
    • Increased traction: The full-depth sipes also ensure superior traction and control in wet and snow conditions.

    Sailun Terramax HT is available in a variety of tire sizes ranging from 16 to 17 inches and is backed by a 40,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty.

    Pros and Cons

    Now that we know more about the features and benefits of the tire, let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons of Sailun Terramax HT.

    PROS:

    • Can be driven on- and off-road.
    • Enhanced wet and dry performance with various grip-improving features.
    • Specially formulated compound for irregular wear resistance and eco-friendly construction.
    • Backed by a 40,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty.

    Also, take a look at these cons before making your final decision.

    CONS:

    • Should not be used in moderate to heavy winter weather conditions.
    • The tread can wear off irregularly and quickly
    • The wet grip on paved roads could be better.

    SimpleTire’s view on Sailun Terramax HT tires

    If you are looking for a set of all-season tires that offers off-road capabilities with overall good performance at a budget price, then Sailun Terramax HT might be the right fit for you. Designed to deliver reliable performance with a 40,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, the Sailun Terramax HT delivers in all avenues and can be a great option for you.

    You can also consider Cosmo El Jefe HT, if you are not that worried about off-road performance and want better durability (8.2 v 7.9) and longevity (7.4 v 7.3) at a slightly cheaper price. However, if you want better traction (8 v 7.9) and often wander off-road, you should go for Sailun Terramax HT.

    Vehicles the Sailun Terramax HT is a good replacement tire for

    As Sailun Terramax HT is available in different tire sizes, it can be used as a good replacement tire for different vehicles, such as 2014 Ford F-150, 2012 Mitsubishi Montero, 2013 Dodge Ram 1500, and more.

    I purchased mine and had them delivered to the tire store for installation almost exactly two years ago without any rotation, I'm ashamed to say, however the rear tires look like almost new and the front tires don't look bad at all, so I'm kind of amazed by the tires. I've had zero issues and I'm going to buy another set in May just because I've had the ones I've had for 2 years, including a spare that I bought at the same time, I bought a total of 5, the spare, of course, has never been used since I've had no issues, thank God, and I've driven over 40,000 miles on the set of four driver's that I have on now. I have a Chevy Trailblazer. I like these tires they've been great for me.

    I am replacing ours now as my last ones have over 45,000 miles of hauling our 18,000 lb 5th wheel trailer all over the country. The tread is about worn out and I have new ones sitting in the shed ready to go before our next trip. Zero problems with the last set and loved how they handle and how quiet they are.

    Pretty normal tire. The vehicle is new to me. Nothing to compare against. Slips a lttle on wet concrete road in turn with a bit of accelleration. Behaves god under heavy load. 30 k miles and most of the tread left.

    I've had to replace 2 of these tires due to broken belts in the tread & or bubbles appearing on sidewalls of tire. In both cases I only had 6-10 thousand miles on the tires. Dealers do not honor the warrant unless purchased at their store. Of course it was an emergency in both cases as tires had to be replaced & I wasn't in locations where tires were purchased, even though store sold the Sailun terramax tire I needed replaced.
