Tires GT Radial or WEST LAKE

I decided to go with [GT Radial SX2](https://www.gtradial-us.com/sport/champiro-sx2/) tires, these are low grip tires that I want to use daily plus track duty. I choose these because they are better for learning and don't hide mistakes, provide great feedback, last long, handle track heat.

I am currently using GT Radial (budget Indonesian brand) all terrain for our SUV and it performs a lot better off-road for me than the Yokohama Geolandar I replaced it with.

I oversteered on old Westlake tires just driving 40 kph on a damp road. I’ve had Dunlop DZ102 delaminate under high heat. Dunlop LM703 sidewall bulging issues without any impact.

I currently now run either Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and Yokohama Advan AD09 for my cars. So much better grip, better build quality.

Rp18 is the best of the low budget tires.

Naka Westlake din ako for 2 years na. Mostly city driving and occasional highways. I can say na okay na okay for its price.

I had very good luck with some Walmart bought tires. I put about 53,000 miles in them before I sold the truck and they handled all types of weather and road conditions. Highway, snow covered roads, occasional dirt roads and wet and never had an issue with them.

Gt radial is definitely a cheap option, but I would say they perform decently for the price.

I used Westlake tires on an old car I drove in high school, like others are saying there basic economy tires, are they best? Of course not. Will they get you to where you need to go? Yup.

I know GT radial tires are on the cheaper side. My GF got them last summer, in may. I checked them today and they are down to about 4/32mm. She basically drove 8 months with them, or 25k km, almost exclusively highway. Is that expected? I'm used to tires going for 50k km.

Tried westlake before on my sedan, saglit lang nagbukol agad. Sticked to known brands since then
