I'm as not convinced as some on the List that price or big name brand is the
best method to measure a tire's performance and safety by.
Take the Kumho 758 in size 165TR15 for example. Its DOT speed rated at "T",
which is higher than most "big/expensive" branded ones, and its DOT U.T.Q.G.
is 400AB, also as good or better than the "big/expensive" brands.
You can buy four 165TR15 Kumho 758s including shipping for $133.98. Four
lower rated 165SR15 Verdestein/Michelin will run $400 to $600. And Kumho is
one of the big pro racing brand tires.
So, what am I missing?
No financial interest.
Vrooom vrooom,
John
