Tires FEDERAL or WEST LAKE
okay naman experience ko with westlake tires. never had any issues even on wet roads. basta chill ka lang mag-drive and rotate regularly. replaced them nung pakalbo na.
Pros: no issues on wet roads
I am using a Westlake 265/65/17 SU318 tires for my Ford Ranger, and quite honestly it performs better than my previous fitted Goodyear and my Bridgestone Dueler HT.
Pros: performs better than Goodyear
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
Part number: SU318
Used Westlake on Hyundai Tucson. Lasted 7 years. No problems.

Eu andei com West Lake durante 2 anos com um Up e + 1 ano e meio com um i30 e mesmo na chuva me passavam muita confiança.
Pros: muita confiança, boa performance

I oversteered on old Westlake tires just driving 40 kph on a damp road. I’ve had Dunlop DZ102 delaminate under high heat. Dunlop LM703 sidewall bulging issues without any impact.
I currently now run either Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and Yokohama Advan AD09 for my cars. So much better grip, better build quality.
Pros: better grip, build quality
The next set of Federal 595 RS-Pro lasted 30k and looked like OP tires.
Pros: lasted 30k
Cons: looked like OP tires
Mileage: 30000 km
Chinese snow tires are hit or miss. I had a set of federals for a short while that handled snow great for what they were.
Pros: handled snow great
Cons: hit or miss
We ran them on our champ car endurance race car. They were ok for what they are. Beware they will get greasy after around 10-15 laps at full pace and grip goes immediately. Caused significant understeer at the limit when this happened.
Pros: ok for what they are
Cons: get greasy, understeer
In south Florida, west lake is bottom of the barrel. I wouldn’t even consider putting them on a car I’m selling, I’d spend a little more for a brand name.
Cons: bottom of the barrel
I had some Westlakes I bought just before the rainy season after going through ten sets of tires last year. These things slid me into a mile marker in the rain with ZERO warning.
Cons: slid in the rain
