Westlake tires??
Hey Folks, just wondering what your take is on Westlake tires. They come standard on the Solitude 379FL and I have never heard of them. Should I look at an upgrade if I buy this 5er? Thanks.

The Westlake tires now have the new Nylon cap (in the larger sizes). So one can expect increased heat resistance and better reliability.
Products improve...attitudes on this forum on certain brands don't.
Improvement on paper are great for sales.
Only years/hundreds of thousands of miles will show us if those improvements will increase the tires reliability.... and attitudes on this forum.
The "New Nylon Cap!" Really?
Goodyear told me that they add the Nylon cap to the Marathon years ago! Probably the Circle S change in the late 1990's! As we see posted here they are no better than any of the others on large 5th wheels.
The whole premise of a light weight, cheaply made tire, with inflated ratings and admitted short life cycles just to not compute for use on the Interstate highway system to see America.
So many people that do not even own 5th wheels love to post in this section on tires that do this or that with no actual experience with what we tow.
