Tires Cooper or WEST LAKE

I've used Westlakes before on my daily driver when I was just barely making ends meet. Had no issue with them, and I had to drive a lot for work.

I ran a set of west lake 205-50-16 tires on my 2001 celica. I probably put 30k miles on them before I sold it, and they still had about half the tread left. Ride was decently smooth and quiet. Ride quality and tire life were better than any of the other tires I used before (Nexen, Kumho, Yokohama, Toyo).

I've put westlakes on before. I am at Walmart. They seem pretty decent. Somewhat heavy, and durable. I see no problem with them. They aren't as gummy as, say, a Goodyear, but they seem decent.

Both my Corolla and gf's CRV sport Cooper CS5 Ultras now. Definitely better than what was on them before. Very noticeable on the winding mountain roads, combined about 80 miles per day.

Cooper AT3's, 215/70-16 to fit an 04 FXT. Fantastic tires, even does great in the snow down to about 20F (or did when new, they're 50-60% worn now and pretty scary on ice, as are all AT tires).

On the other hand, I had a set of Westlake tyres on my Grand, cheap and Chinese but they're well know to be tough as nails, lots of the mining companies out in the bush here run them on their work utes etc

I've got STT Pros on my 2500hd and KO2s on my TJ both of which were a daily driver for extended periods of time. The Cooper's are definitely louder, but the entire truck is loud, so it doesn't really bother me. The comments here ring pretty true, and I'll take my Jeep in the snow rather than the truck. Honestly, just do what makes you happy. The trade-offs are miniscule if you know your limitations and drive appropriately.

I had cooper evo tours on my E90 bmw, they were good tires, a little on the noisy side but otherwise fine, especially for the price I paid.

I love/hate my Discoverer AT3s. Love them for mileage, and noise level. Hate them because now I hear everything else I need to fix.

Two and a half winters. Rotated twice. All four tires are ruined. I would have never noticed it if I hadn't had seen that shiny upper control arm.
