FOR DECADES i have bought and ran the CHEAPEST tyres i could ever find and looked hard for them. Usualy buy them one width size bigger than oem spec. At one time i was running as much as 40K miles/year across 3 or 4 vehicles including modern grocery getters and special interest cars/ m/c's. Premium grade/priced tyres are strictly a gimmick.
I bought a cheap set of radial tires a few years ago, replacing the Michelins that were on my Saturn. I hated them. The car handled better with worn out Michelins than with the cheap tires.
It sounds like I better keep my 40-year-old bias ply tires as long as I can on my 1940 Packard. I have a feeling if I replace them, I will not be happy at all with either their performance or longevity.
