Tyre reviews WestLake Radial SL369 A/T. Page 3 2841

Excellent tire, spring hunting in the Tver region went great, on the highway it's comfortable, as for noise, I won't say anything, in Duster itself the noise insulation isn't very good, but it's definitely not louder than winter tires.
I really liked how it behaves in puddles, on MKAD in the rut it no longer tosses the car around.
So far, I'm satisfied.

I've driven 17,000 km on these tires, they don't wear out at all, the sidewalls are hard, but there's nothing good about them! At speeds above 60, they start to hum loudly, turning into a howl. They howl on dry asphalt, and even louder on wet surfaces, like wolves, very, very loud. After 120 km/h, they start to drift a bit on asphalt, and when turning, the tires sometimes squeal. On wet clay, they drift, making it hard to straighten the car, and balancing requires 45-65 grams of weights per wheel. They're suitable for dry dirt roads, but after rain, they're not good for muddy roads, they get clogged. Overall, these are the worst tires, the rubber compound is poor, and they're only suitable for UAZ or Niva at low speeds, and the price is too high!

I was very pleased with how it performed on light off-road terrain, after rain it's not so scary to drive on dirt roads, being in nature) of course, it started to pick up more small pebbles and tire wear is more than on N/T. In terms of noise level, it's quite comfortable, since the tire is soft enough

Good day to everyone, everything would be fine, soft, but at the same time it holds well on the road. There is one huge minus, they absolutely do not lend themselves to balancing, fresh balancing is enough for 100-150 km, without potholes and off-road, exclusively asphalt in the city.

I've been using them since April 2024. City, highway, a bit of off-road. I've driven around 5000 km.
So far, everything is fine. It's not noisy (even on the highway).
I haven't driven in mud much, but it's not scary either)
The tire is similar to Geolander 12 AT.
If it lasts for three seasons, I'll be happy to buy another one.

Not bad at all, it handles the road decently at moderate speeds, and it's also not bad on forest and sand. Worth taking.

Hello from Peter!
Today is April 21, 2024. I'll tell you my story.
When choosing these tires, I carefully read reviews, watched all of YouTube. I studied, compared, and figured things out. I liked them. I chose the optimal WestLake tires for myself in terms of price and quality.
In early April, I ordered SL369 245/65R17 (I caught the price of 8180 rubles per piece, which is 32720 rubles).
On the website at that time, there was an unpleasant mess with prices: 9970 rubles, 9580 rubles, 8030 rubles, 8180 rubles, 8650 rubles.
Something strange happened, and the MosaVtoShina website somehow managed to deliver 4 WestLake A/T tires to me 3 weeks after the order.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
But in the first 2 weeks of April, the managers totally canceled all my orders one by one (day by day) without explaining any reason. Refusal. Refusal. Refusal. Refusal...
I looked at the car market - there is no size 245.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
And since ALL THIS TIME the MosaVtoShina operators were rigidly ignoring my orders, not answering questions,
I was forced to turn to AvtoDoc.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
I HAD TO order comfortable GOODRIDE 245/65R17 tires at the alternative AvtoDoc store (article CTS277681).
The price is much higher - 38422 rubles for 4 tires.
And the order was also delayed for several days. Strange.
On April 12, I ordered rare Goodride 245/65R17 tires again at "AvtoDoc".
(The manager immediately called back - they will be delivered on April 15) = 38,244 rubles (9561 rubles per piece).
The AvtoDoc store sent the tires quickly (in 3 days), but later (on April 20) I refused to pick up the tires from them.
This will be remembered.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Amazingly.
On April 12, in the evening, an operator named Artyom from "MosaVtoShina" called and calmly informed me that the WestLake tires would be delivered to me in 5 days (we agreed on a week). He pleased me, though.
On April 19, I received and paid for 4 WestLake tires, the price is 32,720 rubles (8180 rubles per piece), last year's tires (stamp 2023).
Delivery to the house is free. The driver, Alexey, said that the warranty is 1 year, and the check can be requested on the website.
I inspected them. Soft rubber from 2023. The price can be said to be acceptable due to the lack of alternatives among A/T in terms of manufacturing strength.
But these specific WESTLAKE tires for the Russian Federation are not worth the money they are asking for.
— CHINA-made tires are essentially cloned universal analogs of similar and identical tires:
a multi-directional aggressive tread pattern of All Terrain.
Yes, the rubber is made by WestLake of high quality, the tire is lightweight.
And importantly, the SL369 has a dense sidewall, a beautiful aggressive tread pattern, like Hankook,
like Goodride, Contyre, Trazano, Triangle, Maxxis, Sailun.
Among these Chinese tires, only SAILUN has the most correct and respectable tread pattern configuration with coupling properties, brought to the ideal diamond.
I repeat: the SL369 tire has a much denser sidewall (frame and breaker), which protects the shoulder area from contact with curbs (sidewalks), potholes, and stones.
The edges are really noticeably denser than those of the beautiful but soft tires with FLEXIBLE thin sidewalls SAILUN (Mesnac) Terramax A/T (article 3220005320 = 9250 rubles, 9730 rubles, 9900 rubles), the price in AvtoDoc is 11,164 rubles.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
I personally assess THESE purchased WestLake A/T tires to the maximum - this is 3000 rubles per piece.
For this price, they should be sold.
The tire fitter started:
- pumped up to 4Bar, unhurriedly, thoughtfully, and carefully REinstalled the tires on the disks and according to the marks and without marks,
rotated and re-glued the weights, striving for minimal imbalance.
As a result, each tire has 75 or 110 grams of stickers. As he could.
My disks are standard, sturdy R17 x 7j ET+38, straight and perfectly painted after sandblasting in the Moscow Slavyanka car service-tire fitting, 17A (price 12,000 rubles). I advise everyone.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
But now I'm driving, and the calibrated wheels are vibrating. The rubber is crooked from the start (I have a question for the manager: how was the rubber stored on the MosaVtoShina warehouse?).
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
I changed the tires. I'm driving around the city - it's noticeably vibrating all the balanced wheels - because of this, it knocks on the suspension and steering.
On the tire, it's written: 245.
I took a ruler and measured the contact patch - it turned out to be 20 cm. Where are the other 4.5 cm?
Last week, I did the wheel alignment three times after replacing the front levers, rear ties, shock absorbers, springs, stabilizer struts.
After 500 km, I'll go for rebalancing.
I really hope that in BuyWheel, Naberezhnaya Obvodnogo kanala, 136, they will "remove" the vibration - they have an excellent, expensive HUNTER machine with pressure on the wheel.
If the vibration continues - I'll burn the CHINA-made tires so they don't spoil my car.
Now I understand that I should have just bought my favorite GEOLANDAR G015.
Car: Great Wall Hover H5 4D20 AT.

Good tires. Optimal price and quality ratio. Improvement of off-road capabilities for front-wheel drive car

The best tires, superior to the more expensive Hankook RF10 and Toyo AT, quiet, resistant to aquaplaning, and wear-resistant. Excellent off-road capability for AT tires, good comfort on dirt roads.

I bought these tires in size 265/65r17 in March 2023, because I decided to replace the original NT tires with AT tires for the possibility of going outdoors and traveling long distances... But to my disappointment, the WestLake tires were balanced disgustingly, with a total weight of 180g of weights on 2 wheels and 80g on the other two (while the total weight on the original tires did not exceed 50g per wheel). Result: the original tires are back in their place, and WestLake ... For now, I don't know what to do with them. I do not recommend buying WestLake (China) tires.
