The Landsail LS388 AS is a polarizing budget-tier tire that receives highly inconsistent feedback, ranging from claims of premium-like performance to reports of severe safety concerns. While many users praise its low road noise and exceptional value for daily commuting, a significant subset of reviewers reports poor wet-weather traction, sidewall failures, and premature tread wear.
What owners say
No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
52/100From 55 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

Pros
- Highly competitive price point
- Generally low road noise levels
- Satisfactory dry-weather grip for standard commuting
- Good tread longevity for many users
Cons
- Inconsistent wet-weather performance and hydroplaning risks
- Reports of structural issues including sidewall separation and air leaks
- Lack of steering feedback and handling precision
- Poor performance in cold or winter conditions despite 'AS' (All-Season) labeling
Worth knowing
- Performance-oriented vehicles (e.g., Mini JCW, Type R) often report instability, excessive body roll, and a lack of 'planted' feel during cornering.
- Heavier vehicles or those with high-torque outputs frequently report increased wheel spin and traction control intervention in wet conditions.
- Users on standard family hatchbacks and sedans generally report higher satisfaction levels than those driving performance or heavy-duty models.
