vs
Tires OEM Toyota or WEST LAKE
Reviews
I went 2” larger overall diameter tire (factory 27” to 29”) and went from a regular oem tire to walmart (west lake ) ATs. And I only saw a very small change in average mpg, aprox 32.1 down to 29.8mpg.
Pros: small change in mpg
Cons: slight mpg decrease
Mag 5 years na westlake na gulong ko. Wala naman naging issue.
Pros: no issues
Okay naman ang Westlake sa experience ko. Mapa city driving or long drive. This is perfect for my budget and usage. Di naman ako daily drive so I opted to buy Westlake tires para makatipid na din.
The only weird na nanotice ko is parang ang ingay na gulong pagdinadaan sa baha.
Pros: perfect for budget, good usage
Cons: noisy on floods
I have Westlake SU318's on my Ranger now and they are cheap and fantastic. Great wet grip and very quiet.
Pros: Great wet grip, very quiet
Cons: cheap
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
I've used Westlakes before on my daily driver when I was just barely making ends meet. Had no issue with them, and I had to drive a lot for work.
Pros: no issue with them
I ran a set of west lake 205-50-16 tires on my 2001 celica. I probably put 30k miles on them before I sold it, and they still had about half the tread left. Ride was decently smooth and quiet. Ride quality and tire life were better than any of the other tires I used before (Nexen, Kumho, Yokohama, Toyo).
Pros: smooth and quiet ride
Cons: handling not the best
Vehicle:
Toyota Celica
Mileage: 48280 km
Needing 4 new tires in my 2014 Honda Civic. Got quoted 400 mounted and balanced for a set of west lake tires.
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
judging from the conversation here, I think I'll go for Westlake ????
I knew I fucked up immediately after get 2 Westlake front tires for my Honda Civic because of how cheap it is. As soon as these fuckers are worn out, it’s quality from now on.
Cons: cheap, bad quality
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
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.
Pros: becoming a known brand
Cons: wear out fast, difficult to balance
