I had these new, on my 02 Subaru Liberty RX when I bought it in 2010.Regardless of the fact that I regularly checked tire pressures,the sides wore out on them at only 25000klms.Found they had good grip in the dry and wet but there are better tires out there for the same price or less.Recommend Hifly HF805 91W as an option.

These tires were on my 02 Subaru Liberty RX until recently.I wore them out at 60000Klms. I couldn't buy another set locally anymore so I replaced them with a set of Hifly HF805 91W.I thought that the Goodrides/Westlakes were a good tire for the price at $120 each but they were very noisy compared to the Hiflys at $105.The Hiflys give me a more responsive feel at the wheel.
I wouldn't recommend the Goodrides fitted to a Subaru Liberty for this reason.

I had these tires put on my 03 Subaru liberty RX before driving 600klms on country & Freeway roads.I was a bit sceptical about them being budget tires costing only $105 each.The first thing I noticed is how quiet they were after having a set of Westlake SA05 for 60,000 klms on the car.I can't comment about grip in the wet or snow but they give me good feedback at the wheel when cornering and braking.I would most probably buy them again.

can't answer all the questions because I have recently fitted these tires on my old 6x4 box trailer.The tires that were on it were past their use by date and I frequently carry about 600kg of soil which is near the trailers load limit.
I was reluctant to fit budget tires on the trailer considering what would be expected of them.I recently towed the trailer at 110klms on a freeway for 200klms with 300kg of furniture on board with no problems.I feel this is more than enough recommendation for these tires.

I have these tires fitted to my 02 Subaru Liberty RX manual.
Considering that they were at least $60 cheaper than any other asymmetrical tire available,I consider them good value for my money.
They have now done 30,000klms and I estimate another 5000klms before they need replacing.
My score for these tires indicates how I rate them.

Tried to find a review like this for Westlake SA05 tires.Seems to me that the tires are exactly the same except for the brand name.
The review didn't allow me to specify the correct tire size which are 205 but I assume this would make little difference.
I took the chance that a cheaper tire would be OK as most of the well known brands are at least $60 dearer for an asymmetrical W speed rated tire.
As soon as I drove the car with these tires ,I noticed a remarkable difference in steering,conering & braking over the previous symmetrical Firestone TZ100's which were on when I bought it 2 yrs ago.Only complaint is that they drone a little on certain road surfaces but this may be the asymmetric tread.Would certainly buy them again.

Haven't used any other tire since buying the 02 Subaru Liberty RX running 205 50 16.Replacing with Khumo KH 31 as tey have a better reviews.Disapointed that all four tires wore out on the sides despite checking tire pressures constantly.Felt that they were noisy on concrete freeways but couldn't complain about grip on wet or dry roads.Would buy again but there are better tires out there for the same money.
