I’m not convinced that Chinese tires are terrible, it depends on the brand. ZC tires, who make Westlake and Arisun, I think makes a good product, and have arguably the most advanced automated tire manufacturing for any consumer tires. If you handed me that list and said, you need tires today, these are the brands we have in stock, I’d go with Westlake.
Zimska sezona odvozena na hankook wintercept rs3 i odlicne su,u zimskim uvjetima su ajme odlicne pogotovo na snijegu..
I've always mounted/balanced westlake winter tires onto used cars at my dealer. They're cheap and readily available.
After 400 miles these are my impressions compared to the OEM Goodyear that came with my 2021 MYLR.
Quieter - noticeable.
More precise steering
Better ride comfort. Especially over uneven roads and bumps.
Haven't noticed much mileage improvements.
My thoughts with the Hankooks on my '25R vs the Bridgestones on my '23R. Hankooks WAY louder but better ride quality & traction.
Srednja klasa Hankook Winter i\*cept RS3, viša klasa Conti WinterContact TS 870.
They were awesome and very, very grippy when thick (and warmed up). But once you wear half of the thread, the grip changes considerably. And it becomes dangerous below that.
I did my first 3-4 track days in a MK7 GTI on those tires at novice pace, they were fine and had plenty of tread with no strange wear.
Definitely got hot and greasy and you would need to back off, but I wouldn’t stress about it especially if just starting out.
Westlakes are garbage.
They are not good tires and will be the bottom of any performance metric.
