vs
Tires WEST LAKE or OEM Subaru
Reviews
Over the last 2200 miles (3540km) since I put my snows on, I've averaged 26.4mpg, or 8.9l/100km. At least half of those miles are in decent storms. I don't know how people get such horrible mileage in these cars- mine gets better than any previous Subaru I've owned, while going a hell of a lot faster.
Pros: better than previous Subaru
Cons: horrible mileage for others
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 3540 km
Westlake makes pretty affordable tires that should be within your budget. They perform decently well but dont last as long as a standard tire from my experience. I believe I got approximately 25k miles out of them
Pros: affordable tires, decent performance
Cons: dont last as long
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
Mileage: 40233 km
I have a Subaru with new snow-rated tires. That doesn't mean it's true for every other driver on the road.
Pros: new snow-rated tires
Vehicle:
Subaru
Well I have a 24 Limited with the 20s and live 2 miles up a dirt road. The tires are fine to me. I have an outback and tundra with 18s and don't notice much difference.
Pros: tires are fine
Cons: dust pools in door wells
Vehicle:
Subaru
Westlake. wag lang hataw hataw dahil China brand.
Pros: none
Cons: China brand
Auf der Winterkarre sind jetzt "Westlake" für 38€ pro Stück drauf. Merke keinen Unterschied
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
The fucking console rattles like a mother fucker. The stock tires are pieces of shit. The clutch pedal will make noise when it is cold because they used shitty spot welds on the pedal assembly. The ac compressor will probably fail within 50k miles.
Cons: console rattles, stock tires shit
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 80467 km

Cons: wondering if i have winters
Vehicle:

Cons: ajuns în șanț
