The Westlake ZuperAce Z 007 is a budget summer touring tyre with favourable comfort and noise characteristics and reasonable resistance to standing water. Owners like its price, but long wet and dry stopping distances and low projected mileage weaken its test performance.

2026 Auto Zeitung 18 Inch Summer Tyre Test P8 of 10
The West Lake Z-007 Zuper Ace doesn't feel sporty on dry roads but manages to avoid any serious problems, keeping the car stable and controllable through the handling tests. The dry braking distance is the longest in the group but still within an acceptable range. On wet roads the tyre shows reasonable stability during the handling laps but simply doesn't generate enough grip, particularly under braking, where the stopping distance falls too far behind the leading tyres. On the positive side, the drainage performance is good, meaning the tyre resists aquaplaning relatively well. The bigger concern is durability - abrasion is very high and the predicted tread life is the third-lowest in the test, which significantly weakens the value case for what is otherwise a budget-priced product. Pass-by noise is low, matching several of the premium tyres. Overall the West Lake is let down by a combination of weak wet braking and poor longevity.

What owners say summarised from 5 reviews
Owners of the Westlake ZuperAce Z 007 most often praise value for money, alongside favourable comments on dry grip, comfort and noise. All five reviews are positive, averaging 90%, though three describe the tyre when new. Two accounts specifically praise dry grip and low noise, while wet grip and standing-water performance receive favourable comments from just one owner. An end-of-life review reports 18,000 miles already covered and satisfaction with the price, despite wishing for more mileage. That is useful longer-use experience, but the small sample does not establish a consistent lifespan or ageing pattern, and there is no recurring complaint.
