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.
Meanwhile, my rears (225/35/18 on a 10) have been fine so far, about a year. Kumho Ecsta PS31.
Rp18 is the best of the low budget tires.
V730 are perfect. The wear like iron, are very predictable and most important for a track day tire- don’t have heat cycling issues.
I’ve had good luck with “value” level Kumhos and Generals. Currently I drive a used BMW with over 300hp that came with budget Kumhos. They were brand new so I kept them. When they wore out I replaced them with expensive Continentals. I absolutely noticed the difference in quality
Naka Westlake din ako for 2 years na. Mostly city driving and occasional highways. I can say na okay na okay for its price.
The Westlakes are an Off Brand, they are cheap and you get what you pay for, but they are decent have sold lots of these with no issues.
my last set of tires were Kumho AT51s that I bought for the same reason - got them for a little over $500 for four, so I said WTH. They were alright and, for what I paid for them, I think I got my money out of them, but I ended up replacing them about 10-15k miles before their stated life because one of them had a steel belt break and it was making a horrible sound, especially at low speed. They were also kinda loud for just being an A/T
Kumho tires suck. Mine lasted about 24k miles before I replaced them with Michelins.
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Westlake tires. I worked with a guy who bought 4 for his cruze, and man, they were scary in anything but warm, dry pavement.
