Any personal experience with Westlake Super ST tires?

Maybe it’s just me but for me it’s a question of trust… I distrust quality control in Chinese manufacturing to begin with and have a distrust for Chinese companies as well as foreign companies doing business there (I won’t even go there)… so even though this incident was several years ago it was deliberate and a typical case of quality fade in Chinese manufactured goods of all kinds…

I too have a distrust - in general - in Chinese quality control (especially hate soft / weak Chinese tools) and there are any reasons for that. We won't pause for a second to question Japanese QC or now even Korean QC. Manufacturers from these two countries were at one time in the same class as the Chinese now are. As on who frequently visits China (Shanghai) as an engineering auditor, I can assure you that will change. China is focused on proving something to the world as it marches on to world economic dominance. They will learn from the west and they will improve quality, of that I have no doubt. FWIW I have more confidence in the eventual improved quality of Chinese tires than I have in the Thai manufacturers of a certain tire brand whose name will not be uttered by me in my own thread.

Back on the topic - so far it appears that the Westlake Super ST tire owners are elsewhere since no one has posted on their personal experience. I will post my question on the FR Flagstaff forums and see what comes out of that.
