vs
Tires FEDERAL or WEST LAKE
I just went from Federal 595 RS-RR (very loud but performed well on street and autocross) to their 595 RS-Pro (waaaaay quiter, I love these tires so far).
Pros: performed well, waaaaay quiter
Cons: very loud
I also own a set of these, I can confirm. Fits my BMW very well as they used to make airplane engines, and these sound like a Messerschmidt prop plane.
Pros: fits BMW very well
Cons: sounds like plane
Vehicle:
BMW
I put a set of west lake tires on my dodge pickup. They were cheap, and did the job. I put about 50k miles on them before selling the truck. Never had a problem with them. Stuck good on wet or dry roads. Still had good trees when I sold the truck.
Pros: Stuck good on roads
Cons: They were cheap
Vehicle:
Dodge
Mileage: 80000 km
Tô usando westlake 175/75/13 no clio. Já rodei uns 30.000kms com eles e estou gostando. Adere bem, não canta fácil e até agora sobre o desgaste não me decepcionou.
Pros: adere bem, não canta
Cons: not Michelin grip
Vehicle:
Renault Clio
Mileage: 30000 km
I've had 10yrs experience with the sa07 and I love them. On windy roads they can wear out fast but that just means they are a softer compound and offer more grip then a hardwearing linglong
Pros: offer more grip
Cons: wear out fast
Federals will be really noisy after a few thousand miles. Almost like your wheel bearings don’t exist anymore. Had rs-rr and 615k+. 615k+ is better. Both are way off pace but great budget tires. 615k+ is actually a pretty good tire for hpde.
Pros: great budget tires
Cons: really noisy
Westlake is an okay brand. Walmart sells them and their installation costs are usually pretty low.
Pros: okay brand
Westlake ok din pero you have to be careful pag umuulan malakas sya mag hydroplane sa expressway (kulang sa kapit) ginagamit ang westlake minsan pang drift kasi mura lang tapos tapon agad mabilis kasi mapudpod
Pros: Westlake ok din
Cons: hydroplane pag umuulan
The a while they had an issue with tread separation. Ton of them got recalled. They’ve been fine since but reputation is tainted. Ran a set years ago. They didn’t separate on me but they were built thin so potholes and the sight of nails would puncture them.
Pros: fine since recall
Cons: built thin, puncture easily
You got majorly scammed. These are trash china westlake tires. They are poor braking, poor handling tires.
Cons: poor braking, poor handling
Vehicle:
Nissan Sentra
