Tipp had Westmeath at arms length from an early stage, and a John McGrath goal before half time helped to establish a 1-15 to 0-7 lead at the break.
Two goals from Jason Forde and another from sub Mark Kehoe helped Tipp on their way to a 4-27 to 0-16 win.
1-8 came off from the subs bench, with John Meagher, James Quigley and Craig Morgan all seeing game time.
The only sour point for Tipp today was a straight red card for Robert Byrne for striking in the early stages of the second half.
