Tires RIKEN or WEST LAKE
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
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
Licna preporuka za neku budget gumu je Riken, odlicna po suhom, drzi nenormalno po suhom, nesto slabija po mokrom.
Pros: odlicna po suhom
Cons: slabija po mokrom
I put a set of west lake tires on my dodge pickup. They were cheap, and did the job. I put about 50k miles on them before selling the truck. Never had a problem with them. Stuck good on wet or dry roads. Still had good trees when I sold the truck.
Pros: Stuck good on roads
Cons: They were cheap
Vehicle:
Dodge
Mileage: 80000 km
Westlake is an okay brand. Walmart sells them and their installation costs are usually pretty low.
Pros: okay brand
My “RíKEN RAPTOR” tires sound pretty… well I think about my driving on cooler temp roads with corners or any moisture.
Cons: sound pretty
Westlake ok din pero you have to be careful pag umuulan malakas sya mag hydroplane sa expressway (kulang sa kapit) ginagamit ang westlake minsan pang drift kasi mura lang tapos tapon agad mabilis kasi mapudpod
Pros: Westlake ok din
Cons: hydroplane pag umuulan
They are not good tires and will be the bottom of any performance metric.
Cons: bottom of performance metric
In south Florida, west lake is bottom of the barrel. I wouldn’t even consider putting them on a car I’m selling, I’d spend a little more for a brand name.
Cons: bottom of the barrel
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
