Westlake SA 57

Before I start the review I would just like to let you say this is a review for those who are interested in the performance of this tire being stretched. I bought 215/40R17 and stretched it on a 17x9 Enkei RPF1 wheel. I'm going to compare this to the stock Michelin Primacy tires that come with my car that I also stretched on the same wheel. I drove on these tires for my daily commute to work and around town. I only occasionally drove it down a winding road but not pushing the car too hard because of the stretch Similar to the Michelin Primacy maybe just a tad bit more grip. Not tons of grip but the tire has a very stiff sidewall which makes it good for stretching and gives very good road feedback Wet grip is not the best - it did tend to have a bit of hydroplane tendency past 130kph in really wet conditions. (I live in Pacific westcoast so we do see a lot of rain here) Wet driving around town 60-70kph is no problem. Road noise: Tire has a slight hum at higher speeds above 120kph. Not too obnoxious coming from a sports car however if put in a normal car it may be slightly annoying to some. Overall a very good tire especially if you are stretching them. I put them at 40psi and I daily drove it and not once did it debead. For how cheap they are I would say I would definitely recommend them for what they are. Its nothing amazing but for the price its a good value proposition.

Had these for about a month now and They're OKAY. I go on spirited driving on mountain roads almost every week, and I must say, Grip is pretty good on dry, VERY Sketchy on wet (typical Cheap performance tire) it has a bit of grip but then tends to slide/ understeer. Comfort is meh, as the sidewalls are quite firm, and noise and drone is a bit loud (again, typical cheap performance tire) Steering response and feedback is Sketchy, there are times that the tires does not give Inputs. But you cant beat the Price. Mind blowingly cheap! - Good tires? Ehh.. its not Great, but its not Bad either - Sketchy tires? YES Definitely - Will buy again? Heck YES - Will track it? Heck YES - Recommend to peers with Low Hp mixed with spirited driving? YES - Recommend to peers with High Hp? Eeeeh.. Maybe Not. Go for WestLake sport RS instead - Will it train you to be a better driver? Heck YES
