Bottom line: “I felt safe using the Sailun Terramax AT2 tires. I haven’t experienced any slipping during rainy days. The tires are wider and higher than my old ones and the treads are quite thick, making them grip easily to the road. I can feel the difference.

I will definitely continue to use this brand and look forward to testing them out in the snowy weather.”

Review

Larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks are among the top-selling automobiles in Canada this year. For families, an SUV, jeep or van provides much-needed extra storage and seating, which is why they remain a popular choice. When it comes to tires, it’s important to choose ones that are made for the type of vehicle you’re driving. Sailun designed the Terramax AT2 tire to sustain the weight and wear and tear of these heavier vehicles with design features that enhance traction, control and stability. The best part? They’re also made to handle any weather North America can throw at you.

Terramax AT2 tires have been tested in wet, snowy, icy, slushy and rainy conditions and proved safe, earning them the honour of 3PMS certification. This allows parents to relax when the weather is unpredictable or turns extreme, something we’re all too familiar with. Our testers felt safe on slippery roads, thanks to the control and traction created by the centre rib design, deep tread grooves and multi-directional sipe system which open and literally provide extra bite when the surface demands it.

Stephanie and Ken tested the tires for two weeks in different weather conditions, on city streets and highways. Below are their honest opinions.

• Could see the difference right away and I felt safe using these tires

Ease of Use

• These tires were a little quieter on the road
• Tested sudden stops and the grip allowed me to stop suddenly

Innovation

• There is so much more traction and it’s easy to stop suddenly

Value
