hi,
i love a good tire discussion. it really gets the emotions going. i go to china quite a few times a year. the largest tire manufacturer there is Hankook. they are on the bus and trucks there.
so, just like lucky goldstar and samsung were not brands people wanted to buy 15 years ago, LG and Samsung are high quality ones here now.
so far, we have people in the last few days loving michelin, cooper, contiental, bridgestone. all saying they ride smooth and they were the right mix of quality and price for them.
fun stuff.
i asked a bus shop service manager what tire he preferred. they have close to a hundred charter bus units he takes care of. he wasnt strongly opinioned and it seemed to be more of an economic decision. of course shops like theirs do tire leasing rather than purchasing...
later
tom
