Again only my opinion.

Budget rims, budget tyres.

End of the day, I drive to the conditions... If it's wet and I stomp on it a little, I want it to get a little slippery, thats the reason why I do it.

I don't follow people too closely and I don't intend on starting to now. If I'm in an emergency situation, ie: a kid runs out of the driveway, I'll be doing 50km anyway (being a residential street) and I will attempt to stop the car in time, regardless of what tyres are on there.

IMO, there isn't that much difference. If I end up with the car wrapped around a pole, then obviously I was driving like a twat, and I probably deserved it.

90% of the cheap stuff is made under license or by the bigger manufacturers anyhow - often for their cheaper markets.

They fear brand image damage by selling cheap so just use this as a method to sell their tyres.

Thats exactly right. People drive around on their $300 /tyre thinking they have "soo much grip" blah blah. Its called justification of expence. Need to tell themselves how good the more expensive product is. Placebo.

I am 99% sure that Marhsal are Kuhmo tyres anyhow - just using one generation old tech.

So the latest greatest gets sold by Kuhmo at 400 a corner
Marshals latest is the old Kuhmo at 150 a corner.

78.5% of stats are made up on the spot.

Plus I could be wrong. And I quote

"never trust quotes from the internet, you dont know their source of if they have been edited"

Abe Lincoln, is his address to the Chicago Bulls and Biggie Smalls, half time vs the Knicks in the 93 Conference Finals.
