Tyre reviews WestLake All Season Elite Z-401. Page 3 4141

They become very hard
on light frost (.
There is a strong whistle from the tires (like the sound of an airplane ;)). Then it passes somewhere after about 7 km. They work quite well on snow,. On ice, stay home.;)
I didn't use them in the summer.

Fire tires!

I initially bought them for summer, but since they are positioned as all-season, I didn't hesitate to change them for the weekend to test. The temperature outside was minus 6, and it was snowing at night. First, I drove near my workplace, where there is bare ice (like a skating rink), packed snow, loose snow with sand, and then I drove into the city. Well, on rolled asphalt, there's nothing to discuss, they drive very well, they also handle snow well, and loose snow didn't cause any issues. I was able to climb a snowy hill on the first try. On bare ice, there are some skids, but they also occur with studded tires, and they behave adequately when braking. I'm satisfied with the tire. The tire is very soft. 1 wheel weighs 5 kg (185/65/15). We'll see how they perform in terms of wear. I drove Pirelli summer tires for 4 seasons, if these ones last 3 seasons, it will be a pretty good result.

An excellent tire for its price! It drains water perfectly, grips the road well even on a low-power vehicle. It's worse on ice, but it's also great for winter!

Hello everyone! I was choosing tires for my Audi A6 C6. I read reviews, compared, and so on. My first experience with all-season tires was in 2008 (to be honest, I was skeptical about all-season tires, I'm used to "studs"). What I want to say: the tires justified themselves (price and quality)! I drove on them in all seasons. In winter, I was pleasantly surprised at how they behaved on snow, they gripped (the winter was very snowy and cold, down to -27, there were a couple of skids, but that can happen even with studded tires). In summer, they don't stick to the road, don't wear out, even though the rubber is soft. The operation was carried out both within the city limits and outside them. I drove into mud, there were no problems. In general, I tested them, looked for pros and cons. The price for 4 R18 235/50 tires was just over 26 thousand rubles at the time of purchase (May 2025), you can't buy "European" (new) tires for that amount. The only thing I noticed is that small stones often get stuck in the tire tread, and in the summer and spring, it feels like you're driving on studded tires, but it's not critical. The tires have hardly worn out over the year (I don't drive aggressively). In general, the tire is good! I recommend buying it to those who are in doubt (I was in the same situation not so long ago).

I've been using them for 1 year in winter and summer. In summer, spring, and autumn, there are no issues. In the heat, they don't hydroplane. I've driven them on the North Caucasus, ChPK, M4, etc. They are mainly used in the DPR. In winter, on fresh snow, on snowy slush - they perform wonderfully. On ice, like for all tires, it's better to use skates. They handle the road perfectly in any conditions. There is some minor aquaplaning in heavy rain at speeds above 90 km/h. The tread pattern is to blame. The inner part of the contact patch has a deeper tread than the outer part. They don't like overinflation. 2.2 atm is ideal, above that, they produce a slight noise. After 15,000 km, there is almost no wear (tested during maintenance at the dealer).

I bought them three years ago due to their democratic price. However, the tires surprised me with their quality. They are soft both in winter and summer. They perfectly hold the direction of movement. The exception is driving on ice, but even here, if you move at a speed of up to 60 km/h, they perfectly follow the trajectory of turns of more than 90 degrees. For the southern regions of Russia, this is a great purchase for year-round driving. I forgot about summer and winter tires.

I bought these tires based on reviews and I don't regret a single gram. Good tires for their money. Even, quiet. Handles the road perfectly and brakes well. Doesn't concede to premium brands in any way. I recommend purchasing them

For their price, they're simply top-notch, holding up perfectly to 190 km/h at -1°C on the highway, and also performing well in the city, the only minus being that they're probably too soft.

I bought them for the summer. So far, I have no complaints. I used to drive on A/T all the time. I had doubts about hot asphalt, but on the St. Petersburg - Crimea road, they performed excellently. The downsides are: the tread catches small pebbles, but I haven't heard any knocks on the fenders. When driving through turns at high speed, they behave more noisily.

Took for Nissan X-Trail T30 as a summer option for Siberia. The tire showed itself perfectly on any road (gravel, crushed stone, sand, mud) of course, asphalt and puddles. Everyone is satisfied. Therefore, I don't know how it will perform in the snow.
