Tyre reviews WestLake All Season Elite Z-401. Page 120 4153

A good tire, it holds the road perfectly, both dry and wet. A strong downpour does not bother it. It's a bit noisy, you can hear a hum when driving, but it's an all-season tire, so it's okay. It doesn't float on heat, like a winter tire. It's durable on potholes, if you accidentally hit a pothole, the body will ring, but the tire will be fine. One disadvantage is significant - size. 215/65/16, 215 is the width of the profile along the rounded sides of the tire. But the width of the tread, which contacts the road, is only 180!!! This is a big problem, as it affects the grip during sharp maneuvers and braking, which is a safety issue. Accordingly, the contact patch with the road is reduced by 3.5 cm on each tire. This is unacceptable. The tire model itself is great. It was balanced with 70-80 grams per wheel, but this may be due to the welded, not cast wheels. I couldn't evaluate its performance on snow, ice, and wear resistance, as it's summer and the mileage is not big, so I give it one star.

It has not been possible to drive on snow and snowdrift with these tires yet. There was no winter in Krasnodar this year. But it behaves very well on puddles! The grip with the road is excellent. Not noisy in motion.

Decent tires, haven't tried them in winter yet, early spring installation time, so the snow and ice graphs are not marked, also wear is too early to tell

I bought a set of new tires in the spring
The tread depth is not high
I took it for Kaliningrad, we have humid weather here
On the road, confident handling, both in rain and dry weather
The sound of the wheels is not heard

Everything is fine so far. The first tests will take place in a week in Karelia. I will write the result

I really liked these tires. The directional tread performed very well in the rain. Doesn't feel like it's tracking. Very quiet and soft. I'll try to keep them for the winter.

I recommend them.

I bought them for my father, he liked them, they are quiet and do not make noise

Brad Westlake chose tires for his son's car based on his personal experience of using the company's products for almost 10 years on his GAZelle Next vehicle. He chose this tread pattern because he and his son really liked it. At the tire shop, the set was assembled perfectly. The tires were installed on Skad Jaguar disks. After balancing, they were almost ideal, with a maximum load of 15/25 on one wheel. On the road, the tires work perfectly, absorbing potholes and seams on the asphalt. The handling is excellent on wet roads, but there hasn't been a case yet where they had to be tested on large puddles. So far, the feeling is very positive, with one nuance - the tire is all-season and has a direction.

Good tires!! I like everything.
