Landsail LS388 AS review
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.
Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews on retailer and review sites; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.

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.
