Tyre reviews WestLake Radial M/T SL366 696

The tires are excellent, I bought them for all-season use.
Previously, I had Comforcer CF3000, which I also drove year-round.
The handling on dry and wet roads is excellent, as people say it "pulls" on wet asphalt - I didn't notice any issues.
On snow, it bites into the surface just as well, on packed snow and ice - it slides, but tolerably, and the four-wheel drive gives its advantages in this regard.
It confidently handles frozen asphalt. I have some comments regarding aquaplaning: unlike the "herringbone" tread pattern of the Comforser, this one has an asymmetric tread pattern, so water is drained worse. You just need to plan and get used to it.
It's quieter than a regular MT because this tire is marked as M+S (mud + snow).
In mud, it self-cleans well, I didn't notice any mud buildup, although I haven't driven in much mud with these tires yet.
PS. A pleasant bonus was the presence of holes for installing studs. I didn't notice them in the picture. You can stud them if you have an acute need for it.
In general, I recommend buying them. My size is 285/75/16

Good tires, quiet on mud, grip well, okay on snow and ice, wear so far acceptable, still a relatively low mileage.

The tire is not bad, the price of 9000 is excellent, it pulls and drives, holds the road, and doesn't notice the rut

The tire is good. No complaints. The mileage is still small. Haven't tried it on snow.

I bought them for Pajero2, I mainly drive off-road, and less often on the highway when going mushroom hunting. Surprisingly, with good characteristics as off-road tires, they are completely quiet and comfortable on asphalt

The LuAZ brand is not in the list of brands, but since one of the brand's nicknames is "BMW" (Battle Machine of Volyn), the idea came to write a review of this brand. The 969M model with a VAZ 2130 engine (1.8L) from 1990 with an annual mileage of 15-20 thousand km (a house in the village 300 km away, hence such an atypical mileage for this brand of half a million).

I took the tires of this brand with a size of 185R14 as high-profile summer off-road tires, with the possibility of long runs on asphalt without worrying about a possible puncture when speeding over a brick lying on the road or hitting a large pothole on broken asphalt. In the 14" size, the choice of such tires is extremely limited. The specificity of the LuAZ chassis is the lack of any suspension of hard-riding tires, so the light truck tire caused doubts, and I stopped at this model only thanks to reviews that the tire ride is soft.

I have driven about 6 thousand km on these tires for half a year. The driving impressions are very positive. Indeed, in terms of passing road irregularities, joints, and bridge seams, the tire is soft. It was perfectly balanced and without any hint of force non-uniformities that cause strong vibrations in the rear suspension of LuAZs (with slightly worn-out NIIShPovskaya tires, this was a big problem). The noise level from this similar tread pattern turned out to be lower than expected. Behavior on wet and dry asphalt did not cause any negative emotions, but fuel consumption increased slightly, and the rolling resistance felt worse than on winter Cordiant 205/65R15. On icy and rolled snow cover after studded winter tires, you have to drive more carefully (I didn't change the car's tires for winter), but for non-studded all-season tires, it holds the road quite confidently. I was very pleased with the behavior on a thawed clay road - the car confidently holds the trajectory when overtaking slower-moving cars outside the rolled part of the road, when ordinary winter tires slip and the car starts to drift. When moving through deep snow, the tire also demonstrated a good balance between "good traction" and at the same time "not getting stuck immediately" when slipping, providing good passability and the ability to back up when losing traction.

Two disadvantages were found. The real outer diameter turned out to be 14 mm less than the claimed 650 mm, and since the selection was based on the maximum diameter for my car of about the same 650 mm, it turned out that with such a tolerance, I could have taken tires of the next size, 195R14, without any problems. And the second minus is the unusually strong smell of new tires, because of which I even had to throw out the spare tire from the salon, moving it to the rear board. But for those who have it outside the salon anyway, this is not a problem.

In summary, for LuAZ owners, an excellent universal high-profile tire of the M/T category in 14" size has appeared, which still fits into the standard wheel niches without significant body modifications.

Quite decent tires. They were balanced perfectly, with only 20 grams added to one wheel. They don't hum much on asphalt. Acceleration and braking are normal. They handle snow quite well.

The tread height of 12 was balanced normally.
And the ingenuity of the sellers, who hid the defects under the stickers, was appreciated.
It's clear that no one at the pickup point will be peeling off all the stickers.

Excellent tires, soft, tread is great, installed on a Niva Chevrolet.

I've driven on these tires across all of Mongolia, over rocks, sand, and mud. I've been everywhere. Everything is excellent! In my opinion, they are better than Maxis MT.
