Tires Uniroyal or WEST LAKE

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.

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

Uniroyal Rainsport 5 are on all corners of my r56 SD and they perform brilliantly in all weathers.

Westlake makes really cheap tires that are great for burners. They're really hard rubber too so they slip really easily. They're OK to daily but in the wet it's interesting.

Uniroyal Tiger Paw all-season have been good to me.

I drive about 160 KM every week, I use Westlake and its been 2 years already, still got enough tread for another 6 months, approx

Now have Uniroyal Tigerpaws. A bit of hum but nothing that was too dramtic.

Westlakes are some of the worst tires you can buy. If you need cheap tires, stick to General, BFgoodrich, or Hankook. Don't buy shit tires, you're placing your life in the hands of a ultra cheap Chinese tire brand that makes tires that failed German tire safety tests.

I have these tires on my daily from the previous owner, and though they last quite well they are absolutely awful in every other respect. Multiple times Iv lost traction under normal braking, have a difficult time in light snow, and it has the lateral grip of a 75 year old grandmother.
