Sunny at a glance
Sunny tyres come from southern China, from the area around the city of Guangzhou. Behind the brand is South China Tire & Rubber, founded in 1988. The same company also sells another brand that is well known in Europe: Wanli. Guangzhou is one of China's oldest industrial and trading hubs. From there, Sunny tyres travel by container to European wholesalers and on to online shops.
Sunny belongs to the budget class. The tyres are made at the company's three factories in the Guangzhou area. The range includes tyres for cars, SUVs and vans. Sunny suits drivers who cover few miles a year, mostly in town, and for whom price matters most. For motorways and long journeys on main roads, it is worth comparing the tyre label data before you buy – especially the wet grip class.
Common Sunny summer tyres include the NP226 and the sportier NA305. For year-round use, the brand offers the NC501. Its winter tyres include the NW211 Wintermax, NW312 and SN3830 Snowmaster. When choosing a tyre for an Estonian winter, check whether the model is designed for Central European or Nordic winters, and make sure it carries the 3PMSF symbol. The Sunny range changes often, so double-check the model name before buying.
