The Landsail LS588 UHP is designed to give you the best of both worlds – the sharp cornering, steering response, and braking of an ultra-high-performance (UHP) tire along with the year-round versatility of an all-season tire. Even though the Landsail LS588 UHP is a more affordable tire, it’s still an excellent choice for high-end sports sedans and coupes and is engineered for the high horsepower, torque, and suspensions of modern muscle cars and performance cars.
That performance doesn’t mean you have to compromise when it comes to ride comfort, road manners, or low noise, however. So what is it about the tire that makes it such a standout tire? Let’s go in for a closer look with this Landsail LS588 UHP review:
Features and Benefits
There’s a lot to like with the Landsail LS588 UHP:
- A solid center rib helps deliver stable straight-line road manners on the highway along with responsive, direct steering and feedback for the driver
- Circumferential and lateral grooves work as a system to mitigate hydroplaning by evacuating water from the tire’s contact patch
- The tread pitch and tread alignment are randomized and computer-tuned to cancel certain frequencies and resonances and keep road noise low
- Advanced silica-rich rubber compound delivers better wet-weather grip plus long wear and flexibility for traction at subfreezing temperatures
- The contact patch is optimized to put the most rubber in contact with the road at all times for enhanced steering response, braking performance, traction
- Backed by a 50,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty
- Reduced rolling resistance helps cut fuel consumption and emissions
- The shoulder and lower sidewall are reinforced for rigidity, resisting deformation and tread squirm from the inertia forces of hard cornering
- A network of sipes multiplies traction with hundreds of biting edges to cut through snow and standing water
Pros and Cons
So, is this Landsail tire the right choice for your ride and budget? Before you decide, let’s take a look at the tire’s pros and cons:
PROS:
- Generous warranty coverage
- Very compliant and refined ride with low noise
- Year-round traction
- Low rolling resistance for improved fuel economy
CONS:
- Not good in heavier snow or winter conditions
- Some drivers report poor wet-weather braking
- Some drivers report poor handling when pushed to the limit
SimpleTire’s view on Landsail LS588 UHP tires
When you’re looking for a UHP tire, there are a lot of choices out there on the market. Most UHP tires use a softer, stickier rubber formulation that delivers great traction by adhering to the pavement, but these tires will stiffen up and lose their grip on colder days. Tire manufacturers advise against using UHP tires if temperatures are consistently below 45 degrees F.
That’s not the case with the Landsail LS588 UHP. The silica-derived rubber formulation of the LS588 UHP is designed for year-round traction, allowing the tire to stay flexible for good performance, even in subfreezing weather – a real advantage over most UHP tires. It also delivers a ride that’s surprisingly supple and quiet for a serene driving experience, and straight-line stability that’s as stable as an armored car. This is a tire that doesn’t lose its composure easily on irregular pavement or rough roads; it still gives you the same kind of confidence and control that you expect.
Handling is direct, with the tires responding well to driver input without being overly touchy or sensitive. And no, the Landsail LS588 UHP doesn’t do well in the snow (despite its network of sipes), but most UHP all-season tires aren’t designed for winter weather so that’s not a big surprise. The LS588 UHP does, however, present a great value in an all-season tire that’s a good fit for drivers of sporty vehicles who like to push the envelope a little.

Junk. Do not buy!! Drove from Pittsburgh to Charlotte. 3 of them broke. Bands inside the tires broke causing car to shimmy and pull hard right. Tires had at least 11k miles on them, no more than 28k. Bought car used with 17k miles, now has 28 k. Tires were on it when I bought it used with plenty of good tread.
It is very good tire, would like to see how long lasting this tire as per warranty or earlier. Like to buy and recommend these tires from Simpletire.com ! :)
I've put about 1000 miles on these tires throughout the late summer and early fall in New England. For the price I think they are doing great. Not much noise, in heavy rain I've noticed a little hydro-plane but my Fiat tends to ride on top of water more than my heavier wider fusion. On dry pavement though they're fine. I can't rate on tread ware yet as I've only done about 1000 miles +/- Overall as of now I'm happy and satisfied.
These were fitted on a Mercedes 300 GLC for reference purposes. If you have to purchase low cost tires primarily because of your budget than these are a good option. They look good on the rims and they perform fairly well. However, if you can afford to spend a little bit more than by all means purchase something else. My mechanic, who repairs BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Porsche, suggested these tires. He put them on his wife's car and said she was very happy with them. I have been driving on them for a few thousand miles and I regret the purchase. They are not horrible but then that is never what we look for in a product. I find the road noise disturbing and the do seam to wander a bit when on the highway. They do not absorb the road surface well and even in comfort mode the road surface is felt. I had originally looked into Michelin and wasn't thrilled with their high price but if I had the decision to make again I would definitely go with the Michelins.
Surprised is an understatement on the quality of these tires they cannot be beat for the price I have them on two of my vehicles now.
Very happy with the way there system worked. Very pleased with the quality of the tires
This is my sixth set of various sizes have been very happy with quality of tires, price and quick delivery. Have told numerous friends and family. I would highly recommend.
