China Commercial Tires - West Lake

Anyone have experience on some of the newer China brands of tires for RVs?

I get discounts on Goodyears, but still they are so expensive. That and I really don't drive that much. It's not like I'm going to put 100,000 miles on these tires. Most likely only 25K before they get too old.

A buddy told me about West Lake tires. They have a CR976A tire Load H (16 ply) that are really good value ~$150 each for a 255/70R22.5

Any experiences out there?

There are only so many ways to make a tire and for staying in business.
They have a US DOT certification number on the sidewall, do they not?
As for China manufacturing them, this is the trend, along with everything else and for those who refuse to buy them, they'll soon be riding on the rims.
We went with Hercules this last time around, which we found very reasonable by comparison and not our first time around with this brand, either. A partner with Cooper for the last 50yrs and with being the forth largest supplier of tires in the world, Hercules has a lot of rubber down on the road.
