vs
Tires Nexen or WEST LAKE
I have them on my car, bought them in 2023 and living in the northeast, they've gone through two winters, hot ass summers and rain and they've done the job and still have a ton of tread on them. With so much insane weather here, I was worried about maybe some traction problems in the snow and rain. Haven't had any at all. YMMV but they've been better "for me" than some higher priced, higher rated tires I wasted money on in the past. I can't speak on everything the company sells, but my specific ones are the Nexen CP671s.
Pros: ton of tread, no problems
They are a decent midrange tire. Absolutely a good choice if your budget is limited.
Pros: decent midrange tire
Cons: budget limited
these are the quietest tires I can recall driving on this car .. the ride feels nice .. of course I also replaced the shocks so that's going to make a difference but the tires are very quiet .. others say they don't last though .. so I'll have to see
Pros: quietest tires, nice ride
Cons: don't last
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I put westlake rp18 195/60r15s on my daily 96 accord. I've put around 2500 miles on them, and I have no complaints so far. They are just as noisy as the Firestone tires they replaced also.
Pros: low price
Cons: noisy
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Mileage: 4023 km
Honestly, the Nexen is a great tire... It's an older model but for the money it is tough to beat it. Nexen also has arguably the best warranty in the tire industry that includes a 2 year road hazard warranty.
Pros: great tire, tough to beat
Cons: older model
I’ve been running 205/50/R17 Westlake SA07 tires on my Mazda5 minivan since I bought it in late October 2023. The ride’s been smooth, and they’ve done well in both dry and wet conditions. Even in heavy rain, I haven’t had any hydroplaning or sketchy moments.
Pros: smooth ride, good in wet
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 32200 km
My OEM 2022 Mazda 3 tire blew 4 months of ownership. Replaced all of them with westlake, no issue except to those incidents na need i vulcanize kasi malas sa pako.
Kung daily driving lang, okay sila.
Pros: okay for daily driving
Cons: need vulcanize
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I ran two sets of nexen su1 across 80kkm on a 10 yo + Subaru legacy 3.0r a few years ago.
They were fine. Good grip in the wet. Only grumble I had was they were a bit noisy
Pros: good grip in wet
Cons: a bit noisy
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
Mileage: 80000 km
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
3 unreparable flats in 1 winter (1 month and a half). I repeat: 3 FLATS!!!!!!
Pros: 3 flats in winter
Cons: 3 unreparable flats
