[@joshuacampodonico6554]

Also I have driven back to Oregon and have driven 5K and so far on them and they still are excellent condition And still going strong.

[@user-cy5ol3xl5y]

I just ordered 4 for my vehicle. At $50 a tire, and all these good reviews on them, I just had to get them.

@@user-cy5ol3xl5y hows the tires working out for you sir?

[@user-cy5ol3xl5y]

@@McDzy they are fantastic deal and i have zero complaints. Preform great in both rain and in dry conditions. It's also a very quiet tire

The SA07 are incredibly good! Gripped the tarmac like crazy and took my brother 6 years to finish them on an impreza 4wd and he doesn't drive slow around corners.

[@Shade_Tree_Mechanic]

How do they grip on snow and ice?

[@joshuacampodonico6554]

ryan byrne sadly poorly on snow and Ice was not something I’d recommend. Summer light to moderate rainfall would recommend highly.

[@grouchyGRIEVOUS]

Thank You for the Peace of Mind, I have never heard of this brand and I am having them installed right now. Your review and others comments let Me rest easy.

[@allsuave2689]

Viribus Lībrātum how’s the tire ?

[@grouchyGRIEVOUS]

All Suave it is still brand new. Very Happy that I purchased them. Thank You for checking in on how they are doing.

[@kakomagic]

how's the tire now after 2 years?

[@fishingwithrick3991]

Thanks Joshua! I drive for Uber and Lyft too and need new tires. I came across this brand as they are inexpensive. Your review was very helpful.

[@joshuacampodonico6554]

Richard Lindsey glad I can help.

[@bulldozer99]

I bought Westlake tires back in September 2016 and those tires still have plenty of threads on them so quite frankly these are the best tires I've ever purchased so I'm planning to continue to but this brand for as long as they are on the market and their quality stays the same gals and guys.

[@chrisspainting2975]

So you guys are positive! I am about to do it .

[@joshuacampodonico6554]

after driving 960 miles from The Dalles Oregon to Orange County CA the ride experience is significantly improved. Pros. Quite Ride. Improved Bump assorbstion. Tread wear still in excellent condition. cornering is amazing. Cons feels like your tire has no road contact because of how soft it is but handle great and traction is good so maybe it's just preference. balanced well.

[@emooner2]

Joshua Bagby how are the tires preforming in the snow? I have Ironman tires on right now and the tread is so bad after 19,000 miles I need to replace them(rotated them every 6,000 miles too). Live in WI and need a good snow tire. Thanks

[@marcusmendoza9354]

Joshua Bagby if you even need tires again look into they Milestar i convinced my uncle into buying them over some federal and they are great tires look into them they are worth a buy simpletire.com/milestar-215-45r17-24975015-tires

[@John-us9rm]

I bought a volvo S80 230 hp car with this goodride tyre SA 07 which is from the same company. So far am happy with the tyre as I don't really push the car to the limit.

[@gabrielsison9320]

This tire is really sturdy, I still use mine which was manufactured last 2014

[@lukepartin4129]

205 55 r 16 west lake tire is what I'm getting today I pray there good

[@onemanghetto2429]

Firestone are rough riding tires for sure, but they do hold up if you dont mind noisy clunky ride. Had em on my '01 ranger and boy were they choppy, but wore like iron.

[@brianbuchert1521]

I have these tires on my chevy impala and I find them to be a quiet ride,they handle curves well and have an nice aggressive traction. Have had them for about a month and so far love em

[@joshuacampodonico6554]

Brian Buchert I'm Glad your experience has been positive alot of people have a Negetive outlook on Chinese Tires but this tire $47.99 each vs Firestone FR740 performance Tires $160.00 I'll choose west lake over the factory tires any day.

You could have put the 225 45 17. Your review helped me purchase these tires 225 45 17. Comfort and ride 10, Handling 10. Way better than the 215 45 17 on my Veloster.

[@joshuacampodonico6554]

robert carra thats really encouraging I've wanted to do the same upgrade but was concerned about clearance and if wheel spacers would be needed to support a 14 Corolla S. But something ill look into.

[@user-cy5ol3xl5y]

I just purchased 4 as well. My veloster uses 215x40x18

[@bradenrogers7190]

[@matthews852]

They’re made in Hangzhou China.

[@moviesforrandy]

my 215 impala has firestone..two of the tires went bad. $1050 to replace them...hell if these tires gets 6500 miles well worth the money...not satisfied with the firestone tires.

[@deaconlewis7752]

Yeah kind when you go into a little more detail on what they did to this to make it a more quiet Tire

[@eddyandling]

i have then on my Commodore in Australia and have found them to be ok. I also use Goodride which are also a good tyre.

[@lambertwestera]

Same tire; West Lak and Goodride

[@DennyCrane_DCCollectibles]

How do they take to dirt roads (some rocks)? Been looking at the touring version RP18's. Price can't be beat but performance?

the specs on these tires are very good

[@alex369]

I like these tires an have used them on my other two cars but I was wondering if anyone has used them in the snow. If so how do they handle soem snow.

[@79showboat]

Out of the westlake sa07 or the milestar which is a better tire

[@joshuacampodonico6554]

Dzo one mile star for better traction and control in rain and snow. West lake doesn't hold up as well in the snow but provides excellence in wet and dry pavement traction and cpntrol and corner well.

[@123ahg1]

Westlake i work for this company they sell alot more than milestar but nakang sells even faster and they are better plus nankang has better warranty

[@MrWoody311]

Milestar actually has a rollback now at Walmart at least in my size 215 55 r16. $47 with a 50k mile (utog 540 treadware) warranty works for me.

[@teyronmcclain6973]

This brand tire is really good for the money.. and it runs out good Ive hit 90 mph and it was just as good as my nexen brand tires for half the cash..

[@KZSoze]

They should. A ZR rated tire is made to push 149mph plus.

[@mmante78]

Hi josh I have a 2017 vw gti and my budget is tight due to holiday season. Is this tire any good for my car and what is your experience now that you have this tire for awhile on your Toyota Corolla? Thanks.

[@joshuacampodonico6554]

Mark Mante do you live in snow/Ice Raining or hot climate?

[@mmante78]

Joshua Campodonico I live in Chicago so we have four seasons here. I’m leaning towards these tires.

[@chaddrumm6809]

AKA “China Bombs” in the trailer tire models.

[@ryambo8713]

The Westlake website states there is no road hazard warranty. But I bought a tire that cost less and had at least 1 year of road hazard warranty

[@KZSoze]

Places like Walmart that sell the tire online and deliver to the store will give you a road hazard warranty for around 10 bucks per tire. But if you're already getting cheaper than the $47 per tire I paid and get said warranty, why not take it. Although if you paid less than that, I'd imagine you got less than ZR rated tires, although I could be mistaken. Maybe you struck gold.

[@WilliamLeonard]

Im gonna put these tires on a g37. Im getting ready to get them online on amazon. Should I get these tires for my car or should I look for another brand?

[@joshuacampodonico6554]

William Leonard I think you will be impressed how well they perform. I 1st tried Westlake on my 2000 Infiniti i30 and was very happy.

[@TrueLifeVW09]

All I use are Westlake

[@gsallen9588]

215 (mm) is width, 45 is apsect ratio.

[@jdtatokc2011]

Breh if I only got 24K miles on my tires I’d be pissed

[@KZSoze]

Depends what you pay. I got 50K out of my $250 a piece tires. I replaced them with these at only $47 a piece. If I get 1/2 the miles for 1/5 the price, I'll be thrilled.

[@Trainwheel_Time]

Breh? I doubt you can afford tires.

[@skip741x3]

Depends on so many factors..not just the tire quality and rubber hardness/softness... driving habits and wheel alignment can wear down Quickly, even the best brands of tires... I had cheapo Sentury tires on my probe gt, which were rated at 35k mi and got 46k outta them.. but I dont burnout, or do power launches... I do corner briskly and the car is meticulously aligned...it all depends.

[@Johnny-km3jl]

How do they handle in the rain please let me know

[@joshuacampodonico6554]

In my experience yes they did moderately well in the rain I will note however that my traction control was on a little more then usual and my one handed driving was switch to two hands. On a scale of 1-10 as far as heavy rain traction I would give it a 5. There are better wet tire options available but for the most part forme these tires were ok for the price I paid. I'd give it a 50/50 if it's raining heavy and your paying 100% attention then should be ok if your not a focused driver correcting will be a bitch.

[@justin.b9423]

Would these tires run fine with 18x8.5 mb battles 215 215 40 18 r18?

[@joshuacampodonico6554]

So your tire height is will being stretched in inches from 24.6 to 24.8 your tire width remains the same and your revs/miles go from 820 to 815 I have seen people have there tire stretched my boy gets all my half tread tires and stretches them on to his Lexus IS250 with a 18 inch wheel has worked great for him. I would honestly say man to be safe I'd ask a more professional tire guy to confirm but yes I do have a friend who has stretched these tires Successfully and drive great for him.

Corolla S+? Does Apple make it lol... Jk

[@joshuacampodonico6554]

TUNA,NOCRUST. I sale Toyota there are 3 S versions in the S trip level for the Toyota Corolla S, S Plus, and S Premium. Should do some research they offer different interior features one huge one being that the premium offer a sun roof and full leather interior and more

[@joshuacampodonico6554]

TUNA,NOCRUST. But I like your humor your a funny guy. We all enjoy good humor. But it also offer an honest question some people don't always know so I answer that for you and the KZbin community.

[@alexvieira7945]

Joshua Bagby oh dont get me wrong! Im glad you made this video, im actually looking for tires for my Celica, so i am thinking about buying these tires thanks to your experience. Great video. You got my like.

[@alexvieira7945]

Joshua Bagby quick question is the SA-07 the same as the SA-07 Sport? Because i only found the SA-07 on discount tire not the Sport one.

[@joshuacampodonico6554]

TUNA,NOCRUST. That is a great question I want to say yes they're different I purchased on Amazion some time ago and notice what youre talking about I believe the differernce is the rubber quality the rubber being harder on one and softer on the other the shape of the tire is also I believed to be different one offering way better corning and control I will say they also offer different speed rated versions of that tire some may have a V, W, or Y rating and so on and so forth so that will be a difference which can make the price fluctuate that is what I recall when I 1st looked into buying westlake

[@DrivinginNewYorkCityNYC]

Yokohama avid ascend gt

[@goodboi1232]

Still recommend this?

[@joshuacampodonico6554]

ALPHA PLAYER yes I am also planning on trying them out in the winter in Portland Oregon this winter which is supposed to be very bad. So far I will say this is my go to tire handles corners very well and I take corners at 35mph and works perfect.

[@joshuacampodonico6554]

If you have any questions or concerns I'll be happy to address them if I have knowledge as a consumer that I can pass on.

[@goodboi1232]

Thanks for the feedback, I'm looking to get some new tires and as a High School student I need budget but still a reliable tires.

[@joshuacampodonico6554]

ALPHA PLAYER yes I can understand that why pay $800.00 - $1,000.00 for tire when you can pay $300.00 -$400.00 makes sense and I personally will say my experience is positive and have had them on my 2000 Infiniti i30 and 2014 Toyota Corolla S Plus twice so can't go wrong.

[@aikalo80]

Looking for new tires and I found Westlake RP18 at Wal-Mart ( 205-65-15) for 38.70 per tire?? Sounds too good to be true?? I live in Missouri and do a-lot of highway driving. There weren't many reviews on Wal-Mart website in these.

[@gianpaolocunha]

looks a decent tire. Now... Firestone is the worst tire ever, should be banned. It came with my civic from factory, couldn't use more than 3 months, need change it. Traction is terrible and on wet is worst.

[@janrico904]

[@verywired1]

West lake tires are shit. Your review completely lacks any scientific evidence as to why you think they're good. West lake tires are among the worst that China has to offer. You bought a good reliable brand name car with an excellent reputation. Why would you not do the same for the only contact between you and the road? I agree that the firestone tires suck, but please.
