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.
I ran sumitomo htr z5 for a few years and liked them a lot (summer/perf). Currently on vredestein quattrac pro which is more of an all season sport touring, and meh, I like them and they're great at what they are but I miss having performance tires in the summer.
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.
Sumitomo Encounter ATs are hands down the best bang for the buck.
Tô usando westlake 175/75/13 no clio. Já rodei uns 30.000kms com eles e estou gostando. Adere bem, não canta fácil e até agora sobre o desgaste não me decepcionou.
I've had 10yrs experience with the sa07 and I love them. On windy roads they can wear out fast but that just means they are a softer compound and offer more grip then a hardwearing linglong
For $70 I can buy Japanese made Sumitomos which have perfectly adequate grip in most conditions and long life, but they are quite loud due to the aggressive tread.
wala sa list, pero westlake ain't that bad.
They are not good tires and will be the bottom of any 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.
