Re: Sunny SN3800 tires.

I would put mad cash on those being Chinese, if solely for their being such a blatant copy of Dunlop's Sport series tires (I had the 5000s and 9000s on my Legacy). It's a nice thought to consider them all-season, but they'll only get you year-round use if you never see temperatures below, say, 40 degrees...

They're made by South China Tire and Rubber Company.

Re: Sunny SN3800 tires.

I know I am new but let me put my 2 cents in, if you need snow tires those are not it.
Look at them closely and you should find they are a "performance" Summer tire.
I put that in quotes because I have never had them never known anyone that did and do not really trust that they are.

Those MayPop's have great traction I've heard. For a day or two. As long as you never, ever go near ice. Or snow. Or water. Or dirt.

Re: Sunny SN3800 tires.

cheaping out on something you need is only going to cost more in the long run. I bought cheap tires for my 18s and they made the driving experience worse. Do yourself a favor and wait to save up a little more money to do it right the first time.
