Tyre reviews WestLake All Season Elite Z-401. Page 114 4140

I bought it in 2023. I chose it as a summer tire with good traction, since my car is four-wheel drive and I sometimes drive on dirt roads and fields. Everything is fine with the tire, especially its grip on wet roads and puddles, it's excellent, and it also handles well on fields. In hot weather, it doesn't lose its shape, but it's a bit noisy after 120 km/h. However, there's a significant drawback - it became uneven after the second year. I drove it for a summer, then swapped it with my winter tire and stored it in the garage horizontally, one on top of the other, as I always store my tires. In the spring of 2024, I took it to a tire shop, swapped my winter tire with this summer one, and it was uneven. They added 2 pounds of weight to balance it, more than the previous year, and it's still uneven, you can see it clearly on the balancing machine... I went to another tire shop, same problem. There are vibrations from 90 to 120 km/h. I think I should just put it on the rim and not take it off until it's worn out... All the positive aspects of this tire are overshadowed by this significant drawback. I'm going to sell it and buy another one for the summer. I'll only use this one if I have to, like on a Niva in the village... There, the unevenness doesn't matter.

Fitted perfectly, looks excellent

Smells like rubber

Excellent tires, thank you.

Tires are excellent. Arrived on time. I recommend!
Thanks to the seller!

Well, decent wheels have not been installed yet!

Good tires and not expensive.

A decent tire. Balanced well. Moderately noisy. I have nothing bad to say so far. Good price-quality ratio. I'm satisfied with the tire. I haven't had the opportunity to evaluate its performance on snow and ice.

The tire was nice, I took (195,60,15) for seasonal change. I have to drive on absolutely all types of roads. So, it's quite versatile. It can handle mud, dry field, gravel, highway, and snow accordingly. It holds the declared maximum speed without acoustic discomfort and wandering on the road (the car is manageable). I was very pleased with the braking qualities on wet and dry asphalt (confidently, without slipping into understeer and ABS working). I didn't have a chance to drive much on snow, but I understood one thing - you won't be a cow on ice. The main thing is to maintain the correct speed mode relative to the situation. It's too early to talk about wear resistance. Fuel consumption is less than with winter tires. Conclusion - in my size, this is a good tire that justifies its name. Good luck with your purchases and safe driving.

Good day. It's early to judge, the mileage is small, but in general, looking ahead to spring-summer-autumn, it will work in our region. For winter, I think it will be too shallow in tread depth. It cannot be positioned as All season.
