Tires OEM Mazda or WEST LAKE

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 went 2” larger overall diameter tire (factory 27” to 29”) and went from a regular oem tire to walmart (west lake ) ATs. And I only saw a very small change in average mpg, aprox 32.1 down to 29.8mpg.

Mag 5 years na westlake na gulong ko. Wala naman naging issue.

Okay naman ang Westlake sa experience ko. Mapa city driving or long drive. This is perfect for my budget and usage. Di naman ako daily drive so I opted to buy Westlake tires para makatipid na din.

The only weird na nanotice ko is parang ang ingay na gulong pagdinadaan sa baha.

I have Westlake SU318's on my Ranger now and they are cheap and fantastic. Great wet grip and very quiet.

Needing 4 new tires in my 2014 Honda Civic. Got quoted 400 mounted and balanced for a set of west lake tires.

judging from the conversation here, I think I'll go for Westlake ????

Ah, west lakes, balance like shit like Rovelos. They’re a low cost low tier tire that dealers install to keep costs cheap overall.

I knew I fucked up immediately after get 2 Westlake front tires for my Honda Civic because of how cheap it is. As soon as these fuckers are worn out, it’s quality from now on.

Westlake tires are becoming a "known" brand name. It still doesn't change the fact they are a low end Chinese tire. That said, they will wear out fast as with all other Chinese tires the tread compound is very soft (low treadware rating). They don't hug corners well, there not fantastic at shuttling water, they are horrible in adverse terrain/weather, & they can be difficult to balance.
