To really get the most out of the performance potential for a sporty sedan, hatchback, or coupe, you probably ought to consider summer or ultra-high-performance (UHP) tires. UHP tires incorporate a specialized rubber compound that’s softer and stickier for better adhesion to the pavement, with certain design features that are aimed at enhanced cornering ability and shorter braking distances.

With a good set of UHP tires, you don’t have to sacrifice ride quality, wet-weather performance, low noise and decent tread life to get the kind of sharp, responsive performance you’re looking for. That’s where the Sailun Atrezzo SVA1 comes in – this is a tire that’s capable and confident when it comes to carving up an onramp or a twisty mountain road, but also equally in its element for day-to-day commuting duties or long trips on the interstate.

So what is it about the tire that makes it such a good choice? Let’s go in for a closer look with this Sailun Atrezzo SVA1 review.

• Unique wavy groove design helps cancel frequencies to keep road noise low

SimpleTire’s view on Sailun Atrezzo SVA1 tires

The Sailun Atrezzo SVA1 is proof that you don’t have to spend a ton of money to get ultra-high-performance (UHP) levels of braking, steering response, steering feedback, and cornering ability for your sporty coupe, sedan, or hatchback.

We’re impressed with the 40,000 mile warranty on this tire, especially considering its price point and the fact that many UHP tires don’t have a tread life mileage warranty at all. We also like the fact that while this tire delivers UHP performance, it can be used year-round – the softer tread compound of many UHP and summer tires means that they will stiffen up and lose traction in colder weather and should not be used if temperatures are below 45 degrees F. Not so with the Sailun Atrezzo SVA1; this is more of an all-season performance tire design. Wet-weather traction is dependable and consistent, cornering is reliable even when pushed to the limit and steering response is sharp and immediate without being overly touchy and jumpy.

We should mention that some reviewers note that the Sailun Atrezzo SVA1 is noisy over irregular pavement surfaces or grooves, and it’s not a great tire for heavier snow (most all-season tires aren’t, after all). That said, we feel that the Sailun Atrezzo SVA1 is a great value for drivers who like spirited, enthusiastic driving but don’t want to clean out their bank accounts to get there.
