How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
38/100From 14 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 14 owner reviews found online.
The Westlake SA 07 receives heavily polarized reviews, leaning toward negative consensus primarily due to hazardous wet-weather performance. While a few users find them competent and comparable to premium brands in dry conditions for the price, the majority report alarming traction losses on wet surfaces and roundabouts.
Pros
- Acceptable dry grip and handling performance
- Affordable price point for budget-conscious buyers
- Comfortable ride quality reported under normal conditions
Cons
- Dangerous and unpredictable loss of traction in wet conditions
- Severe wheelspin when pulling away or accelerating in the rain
- Pronounced tramlining and poor steering feedback
- Fast tread wear reported by some users
Worth knowing
- Rear-wheel drive and lighter sports cars, such as the Mazda MX-5, experience sudden oversteer and dangerous slip behavior in wet conditions.
