Tires GT Radial or WEST LAKE
Westlake makes really cheap tires that are great for burners. They're really hard rubber too so they slip really easily. They're OK to daily but in the wet it's interesting.
I drive about 160 KM every week, I use Westlake and its been 2 years already, still got enough tread for another 6 months, approx
You want cheap tires. Go Westlakes. Great budget brand.
I've run a few sets and no complaints.
I have high praise for their overall quality. I owned a set of Savero HT2 all seasons and ran them on an older Explorer. They wore like iron; outstanding quality.
Westlake SW608s. The best!
We tried a set on our HS Civic, then onto my codrivers CS NC. They're notably off pace from other 200tw (down in grip even to the RS-RR), but they wore like iron and communicated at the limit. Very solid for the money.
Friend has a set, they are pretty good for how cheap they are, but they won't be as fast as most of the other 200 tw tires.
Any tire sold in the us is safe to put on your car, the west lake rp18 is a knock off of a continental tire, I have heard good things about it in terms of value for money
Westlake tires are becoming a "known" brand name. It still doesn't change the fact they are a low end Chinese tire. That said, they will wear out fast as with all other Chinese tires the tread compound is very soft (low treadware rating). They don't hug corners well, there not fantastic at shuttling water, they are horrible in adverse terrain/weather, & they can be difficult to balance.
Westlake RP18 - Delaminated the tire before I killed the tread, good life, crappy grip.
