Tires SUMITOMO or WEST LAKE
I’m not convinced that Chinese tires are terrible, it depends on the brand. ZC tires, who make Westlake and Arisun, I think makes a good product, and have arguably the most advanced automated tire manufacturing for any consumer tires. If you handed me that list and said, you need tires today, these are the brands we have in stock, I’d go with Westlake.
I've always mounted/balanced westlake winter tires onto used cars at my dealer. They're cheap and readily available.
Falken also makes several tires in that size. Falken are made by Sumitomo and excellent. My Sumitomos last at least 60k and are about $95-120.
Have them on my Equus 430HP heavy luxury sedan. They are fine and good price. Normal daily driving they are totally fine.
yung kaibigan ko nagtry westlake 5 years sa innova, malambot, makapit naman daw.
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.
Westlake is an okay brand. Walmart sells them and their installation costs are usually pretty low.
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
I know this thread is almost a year old...But it was one of the first things to pop up in Google. I bought a Challenger with the Sumitomo all seasons. 245/45r20. They were terrible tires. I figured I try to get 2 years out of them and it didnt happen. They were manufactured in March 2023. Lasted 12,000 miles before one of them separated from the side wall in November 2024. I got a set of new tires at discount tire and they showed me that 2 of the other tires were starting exactly the same thing. Separating the tread from the side walls. All on the inside so I couldnt see it. The car shook over 75mph...They wouldnt hold air pressure...They were downright dangerous in winter conditions. They were very noisy and wouldnt grip even on a hot road surface.
Westlakes are garbage.
