Tires WEST LAKE or DEBICA

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.

Zic din experienta personala: niste cauciucuri de iarna Debica vs Michellin CrossClimate 2, prefer Debica de iarna.

Man, eu am avut debica all season pe prima mea masina, la 200 de lei bucata, nu exista diferenta de zgomot (pe un golf 4 ofc), nu alunecau si franau corespunzator.

I have Westlake SL369s on the back of my old truck, but I only put about 1000 miles on them before the engine blew up. Can report back once I get it running again I guess.

They were awesome and very, very grippy when thick (and warmed up). But once you wear half of the thread, the grip changes considerably. And it becomes dangerous below that.

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

I know this is a few months old and you've probably already bought tires but for anyone else stay far away from Westlake they are garbage I had a set and within a few months the sidewalls on two of them had bulges after the car just sat in my garage for a few days no potholes, damage etc. they have one job; to support the weight of the car and they can't even do that.

The a while they had an issue with tread separation. Ton of them got recalled. They’ve been fine since but reputation is tainted. Ran a set years ago. They didn’t separate on me but they were built thin so potholes and the sight of nails would puncture them.

You got majorly scammed. These are trash china westlake tires. They are poor braking, poor handling tires.
