Tyre reviews WestLake ZuperEco Z-107. Page 8 35745

The tyre is super! Really liked it, soft, noiseless, feels great in wet weather! Very reminiscent of Pirelli!

The tyre is smooth, good quality, no tyre noise, the tyre tread is also fine, but there is a downside—the tyre is undersized, specifically the wheel rim protection is flush with the wheel rim, whereas previously Michelin provided protection against curb damage. However, the sweet price outweighs the drawback.

Hello everyone! This is my first time using Chinese tires. I didn't expect miracles from the low price, but I never thought they would turn out to be unacceptably poor in the characteristics listed below.

There are a few advantages:

- the rubber itself grips dry asphalt quite well

- wet surface traction doesn't deteriorate significantly

- decent resistance to aquaplaning (when new)

- not noisy (when new)

- reasonably absorbs small road surface imperfections

Disadvantages:

- significantly undersized (at least one size smaller in both height and width)

- shallow tyre tread depth (less than 7 mm). Moreover, on new tires it's clearly visible that the tread isn't flat, but shaped like a house roof, meaning the center is noticeably higher than the edges. Consequently, this "roof" will wear intensively until the tread height evens out with the lower edges. Until the tread wears in, the car will noticeably wander at highway speeds.

- weak carcass in general and sidewalls in particular. In corners, there's a long and pronounced sidewall flex that needs to be compensated for, which blurs steering feel and requires additional steering input to overcome this flex.

- the biggest drawback is that these tires vibrate at speeds above 100 km/h, and this issue is fundamentally incurable!!!

It's useless to balance these tires!!! In static balancing, only a small amount of balancing weights is needed (30–40 grams per wheel), but at highway speeds, there's still vibration in the steering wheel and body (at varying speeds and amplitudes, but there's no speed range where this vibration disappears).

Moreover, reading reviews is pointless, as they are all glowing (someone has to promote this ..... product). I found only about three negative ones that somewhat reflect the actual situation. Buyers of other Chinese brands with an established reputation (such as Triangle), especially on larger sizes and heavy vehicles (like the BMW X5), also complain about vibration and the impossibility of proper wheel balancing. Don't ignore these reviews!

In my opinion, this issue arises because the Eastern 'brothers' decided to cut costs. The tires lack structural integrity in the casing—it turned out too 'elastic,' deforms, and fails to maintain the required wheel geometry. I've encountered this only on old, worn-out tires, but it's unacceptable for new ones. Incidentally, tire-induced steering wheel vibration even occurs during intense acceleration from a stop (as if the CV joints were severely worn). From my experience, even Soviet- and Russian-made tires, if slightly out of round when new, maintained consistent runout—vibration and imbalance were noticeable already at 60–70 km/h but remained constant and didn't 'float' with speed.

I no longer know by which criteria to choose Chinese tires, since the markings on the sidewall won't tell the truth (here the speed rating is V - 240 km/h, and the carcass should supposedly match that). Ultimately, buying Chinese tires turns into a lottery (I don't deny that some people might get lucky).

In general, driving faster than 100 km/h is not possible, and I cannot recommend these for use. I will also post this review on other websites with the aim of warning potential buyers.

Мягкая боковина. Но грыж не вылезло. Проехал на предыдущих 46000. Управляемость достаточно хорошая. На воде не всплывали. Своих денег стоят.

For the price, it's not just tires, it's a miracle. Only need to be careful in turns on wet roads. And I'm worried about potholes — the sidewalls are very soft. Otherwise, it's a good budget tire, perfect for non-racers! Will probably last up to two seasons at most. But that's still good!

Данная шина приобреталась и устанавливалась на шиномонтаже Мосавтошина г.Краснодар 25.06.2025 г.за 1 год 1,5 месяца проехал 40000 км.Обнаружил на всех 4-х шинах , небольшие перпендикулярно протектору,продолговатые вмятины и выпуклости ( грыжи). Давление в шинах проверял регулярно,всегда держал 2,2 bar. Езда только по трассе.До этого стояла CONTINENTAL пробег 55000 км и таких грыж не было..Вывод резина не очень хорошего качества.больше брать не буду.

The tires are out of round—wheel balancing won't help no matter how you rotate the tire, so it's impossible to eliminate steering wheel vibration at speeds of 100–120 km/h. One tire bounces, another wobbles, and it's the same with all of them. Overall, I'm disappointed with the purchase. I bought 245/45 R19 for a 2017 Mazda 6 GJ.

Good tyres for their price.
Soft, not noisy, and provide good road grip both in the city and at speed on highways.
Confident on wet surfaces, with no aquaplaning.

A good option for summer, no tyre noise while driving, not a Michelin, but a worthy option under modern conditions, good braking, I recommend purchasing!

After the original Pirelli tires, these are like soft home slippers. Small road imperfections disappeared, the cabin became quiet and cozy. My wife drives the car. She's satisfied.
