Tires OEM BMW or WEST LAKE

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.

I've always mounted/balanced westlake winter tires onto used cars at my dealer. They're cheap and readily available.

Am 320i lci rwd, si nu am nevoie de xdrive. Daca ai anvelope de calitate poti sa mergi si la munte.

Rwd are costuri reduse de intretinere fata de xdrive, mai usor, mai eficient.

Have them on my Equus 430HP heavy luxury sedan. They are fine and good price. Normal daily driving they are totally fine.

Tried westlake once, good first couple of months, by the end of the first year the wet grip degraded a fair bit.

Just be warned I bought new and we don’t drive it wild or anything but both rear tires (non staggered 21”) were at 3mm tread after 10k miles and I had to replace them. Was shocking.

Westlake is an okay brand. Walmart sells them and their installation costs are usually pretty low.

I had some Westlakes I bought just before the rainy season after going through ten sets of tires last year. These things slid me into a mile marker in the rain with ZERO warning.

I have a 2024 BMW IXM60 that came with run-flat tires. While driving around 40 mph, I hit a pothole and the run-flat instantly went flat and did not at all feel safe to drive on except for a couple blocks back to my home. I would not spend the extra money for run flats, did not find any benefit at all from it.

most of the tires coined as "China Bombs" are the Westlake tires...
