Tyre reviews WestLake All Season Elite Z-401. Page 6 4143

I bought the tires by chance, at a discount. I needed to change the tires urgently, as budget-friendly as possible.
I drove them for almost a year.
For the first time, I felt what it means to not have to wait in line for tire changes in the fall, when the first frosts come, and in the spring, when it gets warmer 😁
In the summer, I drove to Crimea at +40 degrees.
In the winter, I rode in St. Petersburg, and for a St. Petersburg winter, excluding heavy snowfalls, they are just right in the city.
Everything is quite good, even more so 👍

Good soft rubber, balanced with a minimal amount of weights, did not require re-balancing after running-in, no uneven wear, excellent grip on wet roads, not recommended to exceed 180 km/h on this tire.
The only downside is that it's a bit noisy, but it's an all-season tire and there's no such thing as a perfect solution.
It's okay on snow, but not on ice.

I purchased these tires in size 225/55/18.
They were balanced well.
After the tire change, I immediately heard a strong howl, and from two wheels, not only howling, but also acoustic blows (a non-uniform sound similar to slaps).
I even drove to a different mounting shop, hoping that the first ones had made some mistakes somewhere, but everything remained unchanged.

The tire is good. It doesn't make noise. It handles the road well.
I'm buying it for the 2nd time. I haven't tested it in winter conditions, as we rarely have winter here (Sochi).

Overall, a very good tire, not noisy with good behavior on asphalt, especially in the off-season! In the summer, it showed itself from a good side, but since it is designed for use in the winter period, in extreme modes it starts to float... In normal conditions, it behaves predictably and understandably. In winter, it performs well in snow, but loses significantly to studded tires in any mode of movement on ice.

The wheels are not bad, the rubber is soft. For the city, it's just right!. The response to the ride is 10 out of 10. I would like them to last as long as possible, but time will tell. I haven't tested them in the snow, so I have nothing to say... So far, I'm satisfied with everything.

I drove on these tires through the mountains of Transylvania for about 2000 km.
Not noisy, it handles the road well both in the rain and in the heat.
It also behaves decently on serpentines.
The sidewalls are soft, so it's better not to overdo it with turns.

Great tires. Soft, absorbs road irregularities perfectly, very good grip, both on wet and dry asphalt.

In winter, I don't feel any discomfort when driving on snow. It doesn't lose quality even at low frost, when the wheels themselves seem slightly deflated due to the cold. Braking is excellent. I haven't gotten into skids - the tread is excellent. Good result on ice too. One of the best tires in my 43 years of driving experience. And the first Chinese one. The previous one was a French all-season BFGoodrich.

Good tires, pleasant price, I bought them for year-round use since I live in the Krasnodar region. Well, it's noisy, it holds the road, I haven't tried it in the snow, so I can't say anything, but I think there won't be any problems, the tread corresponds to a snowy road. It suits my needs. It has the M+S marking.

It holds the road on dry pavement well. Aquaplaning is absent even at 100 km/h. Haven't driven on ice and snow yet.
