Jimmy,

You may want to compromise!

I have a friend who ran Double Coin Chinese tires on his Liberty (only on the rear tires). He ran Michelin's on the front tires. He did it mostly as an experiment; they performed good - no problems. The cost savings as you mention is significant.

If you are confident about running them, do like my friend did and mount them on the rear only. Put Michelin's or Goodyear etc. on the fronts!

Just my .02

P.S. I ran Toyo tires front & rear for years. Good tires. I am now running Michelins on the front - I think they are the better tire. The Toyos are still on the rear. When it comes time to change the rears I'll probably go with Michelins.
