Tires Pirelli or WEST LAKE

We had two incidents on the freeway where a nail punctured the tires and had to buy new tires and went with Pirelli. After switching the tires we noticed a huge improvement in handling and noise. Toyo tires are very loud when driving especially on the freeway.

I finally bit the bullet and bought Pirelli Scorpion after 37k miles on Toyos.

The difference in ride quality, noise and turning is insanely different. When driving, it felt confusingly smooth and my god when turning, it felt like I was legit gliding. I had insane grip on turns whereas I'd have to tone it down when on stock tires because the grip was always suspect to me.

The inside cabin noise has decreased dramatically for me as well.

From Bridgestone Turanza Eco to Pirelli Scorpion Elects [EU].

Couldnt be happier with the switch. Just a tiny bit more noisy then the turanza, but on the grip and feedback its miles better.

Never leave home w/o snows in the winter. Pirelli winter sottozero.

I eventually got a set of Pirelli tires and upsized to 205-50/16s. Earlier this year I ran over a nail but the tire couldn't be patched because the puncture was too close to the tire edge. When I went to get another I was told that Pirelli tires were backordered because of the pandemic. So I opted for two new Falken tires at the same size because I want the tread to match on the rear axle.

Best tire I've ran so far is pirelli night dragons super sticky tire in wet and dry. About same as stockers for lifespan have 15k on my night dragons installed on a road glide and almost due. Actually getting more mileage than the factory Dunlop's they got replaced at 3/32" at 14k

I run Pirelli Sottozero runflats every Winter, mostly highway driving, very happy with them.

I've got Westlake on my escape and mustang, they seem fine to me.

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.

I only put michelins on mine anymore. They are the best tires made, the worst set I ever owned were Pirellis that lasted legit 12k miles and became unbearably loud.
