Let me offer an analogy here regarding the potential real, or perceived quality of round black things from a certain country in question.....
I ask the reader to put themself in exactly the same position I was in this time last summer. Grand-daughters '10 Ford Fusion needed new tires. Knowing that we would have an 18 year old driver zooming around the streets and highways, including some road trips at the posted speed limits on hot days......would you choose the least expensive tire from you-know-where ? Or would you choose a set of tires a little further up the food chain ?
Your choice. Your money. Your grand-daughter.
I went to the Michelin dealer.
( It's just an analogy ok ? Just trying to get people to think here. I know that cars are different than trailers, etc, etc, yada, yada.... )
I'd go to Sears Tire and Auto Center for some Road Handlers in all likelihood. Sears brand offers a lot of value.
