vs
Tires PHANTOM or WEST LAKE
Westlake makes pretty affordable tires that should be within your budget. They perform decently well but dont last as long as a standard tire from my experience. I believe I got approximately 25k miles out of them
Pros: affordable tires, decent performance
Cons: dont last as long
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
Mileage: 40233 km
Eto based lang sa observation in owning a Westlake ah, yun binili ko, pero yun mas bagong model RP26 mas panalo yan. ganda ng handling and takbo kahit sa basa kasi maganda yung mga grooves nya sa gilid pang disperse ng water ang dami tapos soft compound sya kaya makapit talaga mga gantong gulong pang all weather, tapos ang hardness level matigas halos pang SUV na kaya kahit malubak lubak di takot hehehe!
Pros: ganda ng handling, soft compound
Cons: hardness level matigas
Part number: RP26

Pros: uzura acceptabila
Cons: uzura din cauza telescop
Mileage: 30000 km

Some tires are made in China and some possibly(?) better ones are made Vietnam, while made in Korea tires usually aren't bad, but may not last as long as expensive tires. For safety, I wouldn't go too cheap on tires. Many cheap tires have rather poor traction when new and become unsafe with only a few miles of wear on them. The Chinese tires often are made of very hard rubber, which might wear well, but has poor traction. There may be some in between tires made in the Philippines, but I'd avoid them. Kumho is a Korean tire company with majority Chinese ownership by a Chinese tire company. They make Phantom tires, likely in China, but even in Korea, they would be the low end. Hankook tires are "better" Korean tires. Not the best, but seem safer. I'd check tire reviews on the Internet.
Pros: may wear well (hard rubber)
Cons: poor traction, not safe, avoid cheap
They’re good for me since my car has camber and will just destroy the tires anyways
Pros: good for camber wear
