Rubber Made: Sailun Atrezzo ZS+ Tire Review

Not every car that I have access to is fixed up. Being near my mid 30s, I know a lot of people who have stock cars just because they are more practical. But practical and stock don’t have to equal boring. Like this Mitsubishi Evolution X (yes, another one) that I snagged from Moe Durand in the Mitsubishi PR department. Guys like Moe, who are way older than me, don’t want to deal with the headaches of angling out of driveways or parking four feet away from the curb to avoid scratching their rims. No bulky body kit or fat-lipped wheels to keep him from rolling in the drive thru of his favorite taco joint, his Evo X is about as stock as it gets, although that car is a beast from the factory. One of the few upgrades I could convince him to do was to swap out the tires because it wouldn’t affect the daily drivability of the car. Whether it’s wet or dry out, the Evo can hold its own when it comes to handling, but sometimes slapping on a new set of summer tires will result in a performance increase that you didn’t expect. And since Moe is picky with his car, we had to choose a tire that would not only has long life, but handles well on the street and the track. Usually, you’d have to sacrifice one of those characteristics. Living in Los Angeles, we are willing to sacrifice a bit of wet handling if need be just because it never seems to rain. Fortunately, with our tire choice we didn’t have to compromise at all.
