While looking for tires for my Jeep I ran across the following website: www.simpletire.com Just verifies my feeling that all the tire shops have been putting the screws to me for years. |

9/10 of the tires there I've never even heard of before. Chinese, Korean, etc junk Maybe Ok if you just run around town and never take any road trips |

Simple tire.com is good but Tread Depot.com has better prices for better tires. |

let us know how the across the pond tires turn out. I figure that it's not impossible for them to make a good product, but they sure do have a bad track record. |

I have ran as well as some friends some of these off brand tires. Generally, the traction, and balance has been okay, it's the lifespan I find shortened. Referring mostly to nexen, trail guide l, and mastercraft. |

I've sold tires in the past ( managed stores for Goodyear/ Firestone and Independents) We sold cheap tires to get the customers in the door. That said I'd question where they drove, miles per year etc. If Grandma only drives 2 miles to church 1 mile to the grocery store etc then she maybe able to run the cheaper off brands. Now if it was a family running here and there, taking vacations miles from home then a better tire, and one that was readily available would be my very strong suggestion Quick way to lose a customer is to have them buy a cheap off brand and have a problem with one miles from home. With normal brands ( Goodyear/ Firestone/ BFG etc ) if the tire shop doesn't have one right then normally they can in a few hours at most. Off brand maybe days or end up running an oddball tire on one wheel. Thats why I always run name brand / good tires I can count on and buy most anywhere ( also one of the many reasons I won't run retreads ) Trail rig staying close to home maybe , but miles from home , never want to go through that |
