Tires GT Radial or WEST LAKE
I have some Westlake SA07 for 10k miles now and they're holding up pretty good. Really good tires for the price.
I personally run Westlakes SA07’s and will swear by them until the day I die
I have had great luck with GT Radial so far.
Currently running GTRadial Chamiro UHP1 tires and am about to install my 2nd set. They are CHEAP and almost as good at the Direzza Star Specs on my Porsche. I was shocked I got 20k miles out of them, they grip really well and don't get greasy easily at the track.
I have heard good things about GT Radials... I use "Road Hugger GT Eco" (aka Kumho something or other) and they have been great. Low noise, (relatively) good grip for being low rolling resistance.
I bought a set of GT radial Champiro with the expectation that it will be just a crap daily driver set. They actually have really good grip for non race tires. Seriously, so much so that when I put the front set on and went to autocross, it caused my car to spin out because the front had more grip than the rear.
I've got Westlake on my escape and mustang, they seem fine to me.
My dad currently has Westlake tires on his truck and they're not noisy at all. They do have less grip however and you have to be careful on wet roads.
I had a set of Chinese "Westlake" ST tires, load E, and got 15k miles out of them (16 months) before tread separation. I replaced with Goodyear Endurance ST.
Westlakes are some of the worst tires you can buy. If you need cheap tires, stick to General, BFgoodrich, or Hankook. Don't buy shit tires, you're placing your life in the hands of a ultra cheap Chinese tire brand that makes tires that failed German tire safety tests.
