WESTLAKE SA07 Sport 225/45R18

You just can't beat this value!I purchased 4 and had them mounted and balanced at a local tire shop. Total cost? Just under $300. For an 18" low profile.UPDATE @ 6,000 MILES: I drive really hard, and commercially, so it's no surprise to me that I've used 60% of the available tread on the front tires. The tires on the rear still look brand new, so I say for a normal, sane driver these should last excellently. (If I drove my heart out I could destroy a brand new set in a day, so really, I'm not knocking treadwear here).Here's the breakdown -MOUNTING: I've had these tires mounted to 7" and 8" wide rims now. 7" will get you a more comfortable ride and a little more roll in the corners. 8" is tighter and they become much stiffer and provide significantly more feedback.BALANCING: They balanced with almost no assistance at all. My wheels have less an than ounce of weights each.APPEARANCE: Pretty nice, actually. Especially with a fuller tread, they look plenty aggressive and capable. The sidewalls aren't slick so they hold tire shine nicely.ROAD NOISE: I've not once thought I could actually hear the tires, but I have a sports exhaust so I'm not the most discerning in the audio department. I'd say they're quiet though, since I've never heard them.RELIABILITY: After 6,000 miles of in town, terrible Atlanta road abuse, I've yet to experience a single failure or sidewall bulge. One tire has had a gouge in the sidewall since they were 200 miles old, and it has shown no signs of fatigue or failure. These tires can take a beating.Dry Performance:THEN: Just excellent. Really, for the average or even more spirited driver like myself, these tires really deliver. I can chirp them in first, but braking and cornering have been absolutely grippy. It's performance you can trust.NOW: Still pretty much the same.Wet Performance:THEN: These tires had fantastic wet grip when they were new. They refused to let go and only slightly complained when hitting large puddles. The cornering grip when wet was very impressive as well. I was taking wet corners at dry corner speeds.NOW: The worn-out wet grip leaves much to be desired, as with almost any tire. They spin when I get going hard and they really don't like puddles. Not unsafe yet, but definitely not as excellent as when they were new. Any tire will do this when the tread wears out, because there is no where for the water to go and the pattern is rounded off, giving less gripping edges for traction.Snow Performance:THEN: Astonishing. 5 stars. I drove 50+ miles in snow and ice and never even once got anything close to stuck. I'm talking WITHOUT snow chains. (Though I did have a set with me just in case). This was at about 4k miles on the tread. Maybe 50% life left in the front tires at the time.NOW: I have no idea because I live in ATL, GA and it only snows once every 2 years here. I'd assume that they won't work as well now as they did before because I'm losing tread definition. Again with the rounding off of gripping edges.CONCLUSION?I still highly recommend this tire. Most people won't start encountering wet traction issues until at least 15-20K+ miles, and even with my aggressive driving style, they're affordable to replace no matter how fast or slow they wear out.I also used a white Oil-Paint Sharpie to whiten the lettering on the sidewalls of these tires for a sportier look, and I think it came out fantastic. UPDATE: The white came off after a few weeks. It's a cool look but it won't last. I basically put this here so people wouldn't think these were whitewall tires.

I am so pleased with these tires. I have a Ford Fusion Sport and in the last 4 months these new tires have been through major snow in Michigan, pouring rain in Indiana and a 1700 mile journey to Florida and back. They handle beautifully and I will buy them again when the time comes. I highly recommend these tires!!!!

I bought these because i was low on funds and the reviews it had were positive so i gave them a try. Ok the the grip is pretty good not saying high performance but good enough and really good for the price. I put these on my mazdaspeed 3 and they are holding up pretty good. Corning is also pretty good with these tires. My car is turbo charged with some mods and they still make my car enjoyable so im very happy with them. If you are looking for high performance look somewhere else since i did have better tires before but they were 4 times more expenisive. Over all they have worked very well in the rain. I haven't had a chance to try them in the snow yet, if it snows this year ill do an update.

Tires are of great quality. Had them mounted at my friends tire shop and two of the four tires didn't even need weights added to balance them .The other two tires took less than a ounce to balance.

i bought them for my 2000 golf vw and let me tell you they lasted for a long time! Obviously had to replace them but the lasted like 4 years for me. cars was driven a lot and then sat for a long time and now driven a lot and the rear ones are still holding up after 5 years.

Got these tires a couple weeks ago and have already put 1500 miles on them. They stick to the road and ride nice! Highly recommend.

Great deal on these I had to purchase and was very satisfied with the quality and where of them still have them now.

I've had these tires about 3 months now on my 2014 BMW 328 xi and so far no complaints. They ride well and I drive 25 miles one way to work at avg speed 70 mph. After 3000 miles I have not seen much tire wear yet. So far, so good.
