Tires WEST LAKE or Shinko

I have shinko 805/804s, they are pretty identical to the 606s, and I absolutely love them. If you balance them well they ride good at 75mph, and handle dirt fantastic.

I switched to the shinko 244 front and have loved the d606 rear combo. It dives into the corners on the road and will give you about 80% confidence on the dirt.

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

Ran a set of 777s on my sportster and they are great tires ! Was very happy with them.

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.

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

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

My dad currently has Westlake tires on his truck and they're not noisy at all. They do have less grip however and you have to be careful on wet roads.

I had a set of Chinese "Westlake" ST tires, load E, and got 15k miles out of them (16 months) before tread separation. I replaced with Goodyear Endurance ST.

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.
