vs
Tires WEST LAKE or GISLAVED
Westlake makes really cheap tires that are great for burners. They're really hard rubber too so they slip really easily. They're OK to daily but in the wet it's interesting.
Pros: cheap tires, slip easily
Cons: interesting in the wet
I drive about 160 KM every week, I use Westlake and its been 2 years already, still got enough tread for another 6 months, approx
Pros: enough tread after 2 years
You want cheap tires. Go Westlakes. Great budget brand.
I've run a few sets and no complaints.
Pros: great budget brand
Part number: SW608
Westlake SW608s. The best!
Pros: The best!
I have some Westlake SA07 for 10k miles now and they're holding up pretty good. Really good tires for the price.
Pros: good tires for price
Mileage: 16093 km
Gislaved tires. They are studded from the factory and made by Continental. They are at least 30% less cost than Nokians and nearly as good. I have had both and will buy the Gislaveds every time.
Pros: less cost, nearly as good
Needing 4 new tires in my 2014 Honda Civic. Got quoted 400 mounted and balanced for a set of west lake tires.
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
judging from the conversation here, I think I'll go for Westlake ????
I knew I fucked up immediately after get 2 Westlake front tires for my Honda Civic because of how cheap it is. As soon as these fuckers are worn out, it’s quality from now on.
Cons: cheap, bad quality
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Westlake tires are becoming a "known" brand name. It still doesn't change the fact they are a low end Chinese tire. That said, they will wear out fast as with all other Chinese tires the tread compound is very soft (low treadware rating). They don't hug corners well, there not fantastic at shuttling water, they are horrible in adverse terrain/weather, & they can be difficult to balance.
Pros: becoming a known brand
Cons: wear out fast, difficult to balance
