Sunny SN3800 Reviews

Given 46% (breakdown) while driving a Volkswagen Golf Mk4 V6 4Motion (225-40-18-)
Driving on mostly town for 10,000 spirited miles
writing this NOT having read any other review so its unbiased. These tyres are ok in the dry, although abs kicks in fairly easily when braking for speedbumps for example. But they are dreadful in the cold, wet or slippery conditions of winter. They seriously lack grip - slide in any corner, out of roundabouts etc unless you drive like my granny. Good fun in a 'practice' type way if you're up for it, but overall don't buy these through choice.

Only fitted cos they came with my new wheels, but I would never have them again and would pay more for better tyres to be honest.

Looking at other responses about the noise Im relieved! Road noise is terrible!! I have a all wheel drive and thought the transfer case was gone. Bought the car with these on and it was fine! After driving for 1000+ these tires are terrible and loud. What a way to ruin a "new " car for me!! Driving long distances here in the states! (Ex pat) some road surfaces do make a noise add that to the tire noise and it gets uncomfortable! I want these off asap and use them as tire swings for the kids!!

Bought the car off a friend who put 4 of these on because they were cheap and he was selling the car. They are leathal in the wet lost the back end afew times on roads i no well and even going around roundabouts at slow speeds the back end was twitchy. Traction control always comming on pulling away in the wet at junctions.(doesnt happen now got bridgestones on).

purchased these tyres about a month ago to replace general altimax 227/55/17, previously i had always paid an extortionate price for my tyres, until i discovered sunny tyres, i am very impressed indeed.. i have not noticed any road noise what so ever and corners extremely well in wet and dry conditions. they are excellent value for money and i will definitely buy these again...

Given 30% (breakdown) while driving a Ford Mondeo (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly town for 500 easy going miles
These tyres were fitted new to a Mondeo bought from a dealer. On collecting the car I noticed a lot of a whining kind of noise, almost as those the bearings were faulty. That noise wasn't there when I had the test drive on the old tyres! Was told they would bed in, but with no success. I suppose I will have to change them now, can't stand the noise any more! Otherwise the grip for my kind of driving is acceptable.

These tyres should not be available to buy, recentley bought a new merc, rear wheel drive with 25obhp diesel power, the last owner had put these so called tyres on the back end where all the power goes !! Just ok in the dry, but in the wet absolutley terrifying, the traction contol is working overtime to keep the car on the road, i do not drive it fast as have young family in the back of the car, these tyres have been on car for 4 weeks and they will be replaced by the weekend, be warned never skimp on tyres as you will get what you pay for !!

Given 26% (breakdown) while driving a Rover Streetwise S 1.4 (205-50-16-V)
Driving on mostly country roads for 1,000 spirited miles
Truely terrible tyres. The dry grip is not too bad but the wet grip is appalling, breaking traction at ludicrously slow speeds and simply not regaining it at all. They were extremely unpredictable in the wet as well, reaching the limit without any warning. I have not used the tyres quite long enough to comment on the wear rate, and wouldnt really want to anyway, considering how they have performed. Although the tyres seem relatively comfortable and absorb the bumps and holes nicely, they do make quite a bit of noise on the motorway at any speed and can be very intrusive over a long distance. I would not buy these tyres again and would instead go for a slightly more expensive - and safe - option.
