Tires WEST LAKE or DEXTER
Westlake. Tested ko na yan. Same model tayo. 215/55/r17 yun akin since walang available stock size noon. Tahimik naman yun ride. nadrive ko 2gue-Tagaytay tapos nakaraan 2gue-zambales
Pros: Tahimik naman yun ride
I always get the budget "Dextero" brand from WalMart, and I've been happy with them.
Pros: Happy with performance, good value
Vehicle:
Jeep Grand Cherokee
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.
Pros: good product, advanced manufacturing
I've always mounted/balanced westlake winter tires onto used cars at my dealer. They're cheap and readily available.
Pros: cheap, readily available
I can say their cheap "Dextero" tires are a reasonably solid chineseum tire. I think they're badged as 40-45k tires but really they're usually closer to 25-30k.
Pros: reasonably solid
Cons: wear out faster than advertised
I went from Falken Wildpeak AT Trail to these DAT 1’s. Look very similar. My rears were $91. My fronts not on sale will be $102. The Wildpeaks in 2020 were $126, now $215. So cheap shit for me it is! But they look good and get me to work.
Pros: look good
Cons: cheap
They're Westlake ZuperAce Z-007 tires...This (in summer temperatures right now) subjectively to me grips better, brakes better, handles better but is way noisier and less comfortable (UHP tire and no sound deadening like OE tires).
Pros: better grip, better brakes
Cons: way noisier, less comfortable
Part number: Z-007
I’ve used Dextero. They cracked and wore down in less than 20k miles.
Cons: cracked, wore down
Mileage: 32187 km
I got 4 tires of the WestLake SA07 from American Tires. The westlake tires were wearing very fast. I have 2018 Mazda 6 FWD. At end of 2 tire rotations after 10,000 the thread level was 6mm on all tires. After another 10,000 miles when I went for tire rotation, the front tires were at 3mm, and 1mm which I did not expect.
Cons: wearing very fast
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
Mileage: 10000 km
I know this is a few months old and you've probably already bought tires but for anyone else stay far away from Westlake they are garbage I had a set and within a few months the sidewalls on two of them had bulges after the car just sat in my garage for a few days no potholes, damage etc. they have one job; to support the weight of the car and they can't even do that.
Cons: sidewall bulges, poor quality
