Tires WEST LAKE or GOODRIDGE
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
Have them on my Equus 430HP heavy luxury sedan. They are fine and good price. Normal daily driving they are totally fine.
Pros: good price, totally fine
Vehicle:
Hyundai Equus
I have Westlake SL369s on the back of my old truck, but I only put about 1000 miles on them before the engine blew up. Can report back once I get it running again I guess.
Mileage: 1000 km
Part number: SL369
They were awesome and very, very grippy when thick (and warmed up). But once you wear half of the thread, the grip changes considerably. And it becomes dangerous below that.
Pros: very grippy when thick
Cons: grip changes considerably
Tried westlake once, good first couple of months, by the end of the first year the wet grip degraded a fair bit.
Pros: good first months
Cons: wet grip degraded
Fui comprar esses Westlake e no primeiro dia já deu bolha.
Cons: deu bolha no primeiro dia
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 had a set of Goodrides. Dealer threw them on a used truck I bought. Went from new to bald in 30k km. Junk.
Cons: went bald in 30k km
Mileage: 30000 km
My current car came with Goodride tires from the dealership. While I didn’t rotate them they wore down to 4/32nds as well rather quickly and became scary in rainy conditions.
Cons: wore down quickly, scary in rain
