Long-Term Review: Ordered two of these back in December 2014, and fitted them to my X-Type Jag. They have lasted well, wearing evenly and 19,000 miles later - all on the front axle, still have 2-3mm of tread left. That's pretty good - particularly on a front-wheel drive car.
In terms of handling, fuel economy, noise etc. I experienced no noticeable difference over other tyre brands fitted (I have owned the car since new and covered 96000 miles over the last 10 Years).
The original Pirelli's had a tendancy to 'tram-line' on some road surfaces and lasted 13-15K (font axle) before wearing out, so they are not worth the premium price.
Over the Years, I subsequently fitted Continental, Avon and Hankook tyres - all of which were good mid-range priced tyres, lasting around 13-15K.
So, I have just ordered another set of 4 Sailun's: In summary they appear slightly more durable than the other makes I have tried, have similar handling / refinement characteristics, and are very good overall value. It is easy therefore to recommend them.
