Cheap is relative. We just ordered 6 BFG's (since CUT was out of our
size and couldn't really estimate a delivery date). Spending that much
money for tires I pretty sure won't last near as long was painful.
Granted, our Kumho's should have been retired about a half season before
they were (loss of grip, not appearance of cord reasons), but they lasted
two full seasons with Eric and I both running pretty much all local
events (he missed two races this year--that's why I'm CS champ and not
him), 6-8 next region over events, and three state championships.
So, maybe "cheaper" is a better term?
