Too early to tell how quickly the tread will wear.

1000 miles and seem to be wearing good.
1000 miles and seem to be wearing good. Had a 4 wheel alignment done upon all 4 tires being installed. Little more road noise from the rear than I'd like. Seems to be the right side. Might have just gotten a misfit tire. Might be contacting Simple Tire to see if anything can be done. Smooth ride though other than that. I'd recommend these Westlake SA07 tires.

Westlake Tires Good Tires
I purchased these for a Mini Cooper and they look great but most importantly, they work great. It surprised me at how well they performed and they were quiet. I would recommend to anyone who does not want to break the bank but get a good tire.

So far so good
So far they have been pretty good. Road noise is minimal and the ride is as good as can be expected being a low pro tire. I haven't driven on them long so I have no experience in the snow and very little in the rain.

Decent with a few quirks
For their price, they are fairly quiet, and I drive them with confidence. The downside is that I have 1 tire that seems to lose pressure at least once a week. I have checked them for nails or any foreign objects, and just determined that the tire did not seal well to the rim. I might move on to a more popular brand to avoid this fitment issue, but the price I got them for tells me not to complain if I have to add air every now and then.
The Westlake SA07 is designed for use on sedans, CUVs, and touring cars and offers drivers sporty performance plus all-season traction. Wide circumferential grooves drain water from the tread while also boosting lateral stability and steering response, and the SA07's large outer shoulders put more rubber on the road to boost traction and cornering performance. Extra siping bites into the road to increase grip, and the SA07's silica-based rubber compound further enhances traction while also lowering rolling resistance to boost fuel efficiency.
