2026 Auto Zeitung 18 Inch Summer Tire Test P8 of 10

The West Lake Z-007 Zuper Ace doesn't feel sporty on dry roads but manages to avoid any serious problems, keeping the car stable and controllable through the handling tests. The dry braking distance is the longest in the group but still within an acceptable range. On wet roads the tire shows reasonable stability during the handling laps but simply doesn't generate enough grip, particularly under braking, where the stopping distance falls too far behind the leading tires. On the positive side, the drainage performance is good, meaning the tire resists aquaplaning relatively well. The bigger concern is durability - abrasion is very high and the predicted tread life is the third-lowest in the test, which significantly weakens the value case for what is otherwise a budget-priced product. Pass-by noise is low, matching several of the premium tires. Overall the West Lake is let down by a combination of weak wet braking and poor longevity.

Westlake ZuperAce Z 007 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 5 reviews

Owners of the Westlake ZuperAce Z 007 most often praise value for money, alongside favorable comments on dry grip, comfort and noise. All five reviews are positive, averaging 90%, though three describe the tire when new. Two accounts specifically praise dry grip and low noise, while wet grip and standing-water performance receive favorable comments from just one owner. An end-of-life review reports 18,000 miles already covered and satisfaction with the price, despite wishing for more mileage. That is useful longer-use experience, but the small sample does not establish a consistent lifespan or ageing pattern, and there is no recurring complaint.

I’ve always fitted Bridgestone and this is the first time trying Westlake ZuperAce z-007. I can hardly tell the difference in any way except the price. I plan to fit Westlake now every time I want new tires.

I drive fast and have mounted only Michelins for the last 15 years, so I expect a quite high standard for grip and comfort.
Being these my first Chinese tires purchase I was very reluctant. So far I'm in love with the performance, specially given that I paid just 35% of the cost of a touring tire from Michelin, Continental or Bridgestone, like the Turanza T005 I can compare them to. The grip, noise, comfort, and looks are on par, and at least the UTQG specs indicate that wear should be even superior. So far, even if they were to die at 15000 miles (been there with Michelin), I would buy them again... hands down, and they have barely worn yet.

These Westlake ZuperAce Z 007 tires were on the car (2017 Peugeot 3008 1.6 Diesel) when I bought it 18 months ago and they were put on by the garage when the car was put up for sale. I didn't recognize the brand so I thought I would soon be changing them as they were obviously budget tires. However, I couldn't have been more wrong. They were comfortable, quiet and I really had no problem with grip either in the wet or dry. They also seemed to cope well in standing water. I've now done 18000 miles and I reckon I'll just about get another 2000 miles from them. I would like to get a bit more than 20000 miles from tires as I'm not a boy racer anymore, but the fact that they only cost just over half the price of a decent premium tire I'll be going for them again very shortly.
