WestLake Tires
My son and I visited the Kaufman Trailer manufacturer today to purchase a utility tilt trailer for our stump grinding business. I had choice of tires to be installed when trailer was built. Without mentioning the reputation WestLake tires have in the RV business I asked him his preferred brand. Without question he recommended WestLake because of the 5 different brands they install by far the WestLake has the least failures and complaints.

Well Go Figure...

Over all Westlake's have a very good reputation in the RV line. from what I have seen.


I have had a set of Westlake car tires and a set of RV trailer tires and have had very good performance from both of them.

Interesting! I have Westlake's on my SOB, will run them for a while - maybe 1 year. When I change, I'll give the new Goodyear's a serious look. Full disclosure, GY helped pay my salary for a while....

Ya Goodyear needs the business they are paying $1,750,000 in OSHA fines here at their plant in Virginia.
