Replaced Westlake “China Bomb” Tires
I feel relieved today, I just replaced the Westlake tires on our Reflection 337. We’ve got about 7,000 miles on them with no issues, switched to the GY Endurance.
I told the DW, let’s not push our luck, I’ve heard too many stories and couldn’t live with myself if we had a blow out that tore up our Beauty. Fortunately we can afford the upgrade.Rick & B

When we bought our reflection 297 RSTS in June I told the dealer I would not finalize the deal until the Westlakes were replaced. They put on Goodyear Endurance at my insistence.

While you have to do what you feel comfortable with and the Good Year Endurance are a quality tire using the label "China Bomb" is inaccurate and misleading which is more appropriately applied to Chinese Tire companies as opposed to Westlake and other tire companies that are either US or European companies that while manufacturer their tires in China by Chinese workers have to be made to US and/or European standards. Chinese tire companies do not have to manufacturer to the US and European standards and are typically the ones that the China Bomb label is more deservedly applied. While Westlake are not the best tires on the market, more middle of the road they are far from the worse and many including myself have had good service from them.

It’s all about “how good do you want to feel?”
I replaced mine immediately with Goodyear Endurance tires. Never looked back.2016 Grand Design Reflection 313RLTS

I agree with Jim1521. He is exactly right.
I manage a Heavy Truck fleet of over 750 vehicles and am well aware of tires and tires issues, road hazards aside. I've also be trained at the Bridgestone proving grounds in Ft. Stockton, TX. While I never had any issues with thw Westlake tires, it makes my wife and myself more comfortable to have the GY tites. PLUS, they are made in the USA! Buy American!Rick & B

I replaced all 5 tires this week. Had a blowout, changed to spare, and found a Discount tire was two exits down. They offered a trade-in on all five for Goodyear Endurances.
They told me that Discount Tire is now Exclusive Retailer for GYE's!John Wood and Pat Shackelford

I’ve got 8000 miles on my GYE’s in 10 months. At what point do you get a new set or rotate?
