Last year in November I fitted non-premium Sailun Ice Blazer winter tyres to my Freelander 2. I didn't take them off and drove around Europe in hot weather through last summer, all told 14,000 miles since fitting. The tread depth was 10mm when new and, astonishingly, is 7mm now. The front and rear seem to wear evenly. I thought readers might like to know that at least the brand I fitted has equal hot weather wear rates as regular tyres and the wet weather confidence they give on motorways is outstanding. Aquaplaning doesn't happen.
