Westlake Tires are Chinese made tires by a large parent company (HZCR), which also makes
Chaoyang and Goodride tires. HZCR as a whole is about the 10th largest tire company
in terms of revenue, and have been around since 1958. The brand had some negative
press back in 2007 due to a
safety recall.
Westlake's tires are low priced and have
decent reviews on Amazon.com,

Touring All-Season
While you can get the RP18 in the 205/55R16 size for $51 a tire (at the time of writing), we would also recommend looking at the Fuzion Touring tire ($63 per tire), based on its over 900 reviews and 40-55k mile warranty. However, the RP18 does represent a bargain, with a number of decent reviews that many generic brands cannot claim to have.

High and Ultra High Performance All-Season
It is especially important to choose a safe and well performing tire in high performance driving scenarios such as aggressive cornering and high speeds. We cannot recommend the SV308 when there are well reviewed tires such as the Fuzion UHP A/S (4.9) or Kumho Sense KR26 (4.7) for under $100 a tire in most sizes.
