Goodyear Tires from factory - Beware the Spare!!
While under my new 25G to check for other items I had a good look at my spare tire... I was not impressed.
My came with Goodyear tires all around... but the spare is the dreaded Westlake.
---
Second item I noticed, they tried to seal the underbelly everywhere with foam etc... except under the spare. There is a large triangle cut out hidden above it and right into the underbelly. Have to fix that one.
---
Just a warning to anyone buying a new one, check the spare tire!
Cheers

My 2021 320MKS fiver came with the Westlake spare as well. I think they are going to continue to do that until their stock of Westlake tires has been depleted. I'm okay with that. I just make sure it's at pressure. I would only be using it for a "short" distance until I could replace the flat one.

While you were there did you turn the spare over so the valve stem is facing down. That way you can check the air in it without having to lower it.

My 311 also had the Westlake spare with the Gooodyear main tires. When we bought our 399, the Goodyear G614s were an option item which we ordered. I guess since we ordered it, they also included a G614 spare.

First thing I did when we got our 31G was ditch the Westlake spare for a Goodyear and made sure to order a 5th TPMS sensor so I could monitor the spare.

The spare on my 320G is also a Westlake tire, the main tires are Coopers (17.5"). I figure it is GD going cheap when they have a chance.
