Not bad, I've used them before for abt 20k plus, good reasonable grip in the wet and dry too.. Would continue to use them longer if not for the nails galore at my workplace.. The one i had was the sv308.. Rather reasonable price for UHP MIC tires.. Got them at $80 or $85 per piece for 16". That time also fresher ones around early 2011..

Hussaini20 3rd Gear February 23, 2012 Share February 23, 2012 But of course, if you have slightly more budget, go for the ku31.. As for me, my bnb car is not a performance car, I'm happy with whatever new tyres as long as they're cheap. Unlike my colleagues, buy expensive tyres but use until botak with no sign of thread and summore still say my one re001 okz... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDuck 1st Gear February 23, 2012 Share February 23, 2012 Do a search on Google. This brand of China tires was recalled due to thread separation in USA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinceng Turbocharged February 23, 2012 Share February 23, 2012 My friend has been using his Westlake tyres with no complaints for the past 3 yrs. Transcab fleet of taxis use them too. It makes sense to get these value for money tyres and change them more frequently before they go completely bald. Fresh tyres always perform better.

Friendstar Supercharged February 23, 2012 Share February 23, 2012 Ku31 is only slightly more expensive but much more reliable. Why bother dunno what west lake? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTan 2nd Gear February 24, 2012 Share February 24, 2012 If taxi is using it, and travels on the road without issues. Then it must be a acceptable tyre. Why need super high end tires...when the driver never exceed 120km/hr or eBrake daily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recall applies to Westlake, Compass and YKS brand tires in these sizes and models: Edited February 24, 2012 by MacDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear February 24, 2012 Share February 24, 2012 I believe omitting the gum speed effectively lowered the speed limitation for the tire against delamination/carcass failure. I can believe the usual travelling trip distances means faster average speed there, against our regular traffic jams traffic which helps sustained the taxi tire here. So lucky, the tire involved were for commercial/SUV only, a small portion among the consumers. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
