Tires WEST LAKE or OEM Honda

I oversteered on old Westlake tires just driving 40 kph on a damp road. I’ve had Dunlop DZ102 delaminate under high heat. Dunlop LM703 sidewall bulging issues without any impact.

I currently now run either Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and Yokohama Advan AD09 for my cars. So much better grip, better build quality.

Rp18 is the best of the low budget tires.

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.

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 ????

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.

Westlake RP18 - Delaminated the tire before I killed the tread, good life, crappy grip.
