Misleading. Same tread different quality/compound. Do some research before you make people think they are the same.
That’s what I was thinking.
True!
That is best comment on here
My thoughts exactly
You’re absolutely right, but if you’re not racing or driving like an a-hole, it doesn’t really matter all that much. Your suspension and tire wear and depth (which dictates the tire patch and control) make more of a difference than having the absolute-best tires.
They all have similar quality-control, and tire technology today is so good, that it’s hard to get a ‘bad’ tire.
Michelin owns BFGoodrich and a bunch of other smaller subsidiaries.
Goodyear owns Cooper, which also owns a bunch of other subsidiaries including Mickey Thompson.
Sumitomo owns Falken, Dunlop and couple others.
Bridgestone owns Firestone.
Continental owns General.
Toyo owns Nitto.
There’s a lot more, but those are the biggest ones. You really think Tier 1 tire brands wouldn’t at least make sure their subsidiary tires are good-quality - even if not the newest and best technology?
As long as you have the right tires for the occasion (I come from a snowy state, so an example of that would be any snow tires, which are usually better than even the best all-season in snow), then you’ll be fine with most tires.
Need to slice tires to see if construction is the same, also the type of rubber compounds
Very true
People have done this with Atturo which is owned by federal. . They were lower rated yes but match there lower rated tires 100%. And at this point atturo has become the top end tire for federal because of its popularity.
A tire is WAY more then the tread pattern. The premium brands typically have better rubber compounds and a much higher quality carcass. Where you have to watch out is when you find an off brand tire with the same tread pattern as a premium brand tire. It maybe tempting to buy the cheaper tire but it is the things you can't visually see that are the most important.
It doesn't take a tire scientist though nowadays the factories have to make do especially with logistics they're not gonna go crazy with different plys etc just like Ironman ATs you still get a 10 ply tire for a similar performance as the other ATs made in their same factories
Exactly. Mastercraft is trash tire will pop if you look at it the wrong way. Tread lasts like 10k miles.
@@slotigy Really? I've been using and selling Mastercrafts for over 12 years and I've never popped one, they all last as long as expected with normal rotations, and I have yet to warranty a single one or Cooper for that matter. I've sold over 80,000 and the only issue I've ever had were receiving the wrong size a few times. No biggie! The only ones we've replaced were ones where customers should have bought 10 PR when they bought XL or 4 PR. Sidewalls are much stronger with higher PR.
@W Hutch Absolutely right. I didn't know about those differences in tires when I bought a used pickup and the dealer had put on tires with a lower load range/fewer plys (8). I ended up buying new tires with 12 plys. Spent more money, but I feel much better now.
@W Hutch True. Mastercrafts are good tires, and are part of the Cooper tire brand. I have used Mastercraft tires and they are good. I have even used a spare low tread used Mastercraft tire to replace a Nexen Roadian tire that had more tread but leak issues.
No mention on whether any of these "clone" tires have the same load, treadwear, temperature/traction or speed ratings as their name brand comparisons. I call total B.S on this guy's video!!!
He is correct. It’s not just the tire industry that does this. And it’s been going on for 60 yrs. they literally run the molds in the same plant and hit both markets ie low income mid income . Why would they do twice the work and melt twice the rubber and burn twice the money to cheat you? And to cheat themselves.. let’s make a fake offshoot and screw our sales... as for the ratings. Yes they typically only use there lower rated tires with this shit but even there there is a 40% price difference.
You missed where he said; same tire with different names
cooper snowclaw and hercules avalanche TT, identical tire and ratings, both made by cooper
Been running Cooper/Mickey Thompson for 16 years. Worst mistake was trying an exclusive tire store Cooper MTP.Thin sidewall, easily punctured by a littld ice. Rotated every 3K and they didnt last as long as any previous tires. My Jeep had new steering and suspension parts, alignment every year.I had a 2008 BFG KM2 set and they lasted a good amount of time, fast forward to 2014. The same tire, same vehicle, but they cost more....wore out in 6 months.The USA made tires almost always have better rubber compound and last longer. They cost a little more, but they're usually safer tires.
This guy repeats himself over and over. Hard to keep up.
This is exactly what i have found over the years and why i no longer buy the high brand name tires and instead opt for a tire brand which most ppl never heard of and pay half the price less most of the time.. Get the same performance and wear out of the tires.. Really is no difference..About to try a set of zeta tires on a new set of rims.. Quality of the tire looks good and the price i found is even better. Good bye bridgestones bfg michelin etc....
It's easy to copy a tread pattern but its extremely hard to copy the technology that generally name brand tires have. For example, replica wheel looks the same as the authentic wheels but the quality is a night a day difference. Here's the thing though, if you don't drive your car extremely hard you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference but with generic tires you're taking your chances with the safety issue.
I've been with multiple shops for over a decade in the industry, you are not wrong, but some of the info you are using isn't accurate, you said you can get a cooper for half price if you go Mastercraft, I Norma will recommend people to choose master craft/hercules over cooper, the price difference is more like 10%
You know tire companies will make a few different brands and use the older tire design/rubber compound when they make a slightly different tread or rubber compound. It’s well known.
It's all in the compound. Any small-time chinese rubber factory can copy a tread design, that's the easy part. Now getting the compound right and designing the tire so it doesn't explode, that's the difficult part that you buy premium tires for.
True. I remember years ago a famous tire company tried to save money by leaving out a $1 component of their tire, and many people died from it in car wrecks. All rubber isn't the same rubber, when it comes to tires.
@@Slim1423this sounds and wreaks of propaganda
@powers1776reset Not propaganda. Depends on brand, tire wear rating, rain/snow rating, if the tire you buy is good but more so safe for you. I use to think any brand of tire will do, but there is a difference. I learned that the hard way. Sometimes, if not familiar with a brand of tire, study up on tire reviews before you decide to buy. Any tire you buy though, your life is riding on that tire.
I don't think this has ever been a secret. Perhaps to non-car enthusiasts. The difference is not in the mould. It is in the compound. They may look the same, but the rubber and structure differ a lot.
A softer compound isn't of lesser quality as winter tires have soft compound, where as all seasons are harder, you can't guarantee quality of rubber and steel belts because of quality control especially from China and at the cost of mass production, I would say almost all company's with the same mold will be very close and hardly any difference in specifications and quality.
I fully agree, I just bought Ohtsu FP8000 tires for my 17GT mustang and they are awesome, turns out they are exactly the same tire as Falken FK452. No doubt other tires are being re branded the same way. People in the comments section talking about how there's different compounds etc are just falling victim to the highly paid for marketing the brand name tires have out there lol.
A drifter who burns through tires unlike you who uses one set every 5yrs already proved you wrong, different brands with same treads last differently
@@YungSteambuns what set of winter tires do you recommend
@@bigdogfromnj car or truck tire?
this guy is supposed to be a tire expert? just because the tread pattern is the same doesn't mean it's the exact same tire
He's a used/cheap tire salesman... It's like expecting a used car salesman to be a car expert lol.
You can get oreo's or great value choclate creme sandwiches same cookie same factory different stamp and name! Everybody does it!
They may be the same molds but are definitely different silica and polyester compounds. I sell Mastercraft and Cooper and even the common man can varify this through sidewall decoding.
holy dude be more straight you are flipping back and forth to much, you go to say somethin g then get side tracked back....
Eye opener 235/45R18 all season prices looking at buying 4 new tires with in January 2024 would like your help
Although the tread pattern may look the same that doesn’t mean the rubber compound is the same. This is a false video. When it comes to tires, you buy cheap you get cheap. I’ve been dealing with tires for years now and the “stamp” of the tread does NOT mean it’s the same exact tire. Your performance and speed rating will change. This is not an opinion. It’s facts.
That isn't sneaky they usually make the tires with different names for different markets.
That is the case for Triangle and Diamondback. Falken isn't a Cooper tire it is an SRI tire.
And the same tread pattern doesn't mean the same tire. Different chemicals in the rubber means cheaper manufacturing and lower performance but because people think "It looks the same it must be the same." The cheap guys get to ripping you off.
That's not to say there are some tires out there that are just different sidewall slugs but when you get a big name tire and you see another that looks like it it wont at all share the same performance.
Which Atturo do you think is the Falken STZ05 ?
Amar is an idiot
You are incorrect. Falken also is tied to Dunlop who is tied to sumitomo rubber who is also tied to cooper who also is connected to Continental who also acquired general tire who is till this day still tied to Michelin who also makes Ryken. I could go on a long time with this. The only one who is t tied to this mess is goodyear. Google it man. Don’t waste money. I think the most important about a tire these days is the ratings and not the names.
Show me a Cooper and a Mastercraft tire the have the same tread design. Just drop the links in the reply. Also the same rubber compound. I’ve seen alot if the Chinese brands use open molds, but not Tier 1 and 2 brands.
Tires prices need be capped which is why. It's always tagged higher, never lower. Also a global highway and traffic safety effort for vehicle crash prevention by allowing manufacturers share trademarked patterns. No, I can't afford $170 - $360 per tire. Can you? It's beyond reasonable expense per Capita by number of registered vehicles on the road. Just like dealership part prices. No one buys em. Is $1,450 reasonable for a ten year old 2013 Audi Q5 2.0T headlight assembly? Dealers charge mostly for climate controlled warehousing costs. Aftermarket companies have no need to store parts 10 - 50+ years. Tire companies manufacture per market demand. They charge mostly for quantities in manufacturing queue. Worthless to make too much. Bad for average spud like me.
If you had different brands with the same tread, in hand to show us... it would have been vastly more impactful.
This is FALSE.... you get what you pay for with tires, generic brand names will not last as long, are noisy and have multiple issues.... now I will agree if your comparing such names as blacklion to lionheart or westlake brand names to name a few...
This video is misleading as hell...a lot of the "same exact tires with different names" are actually made with an entirely different compound, different ply construction, materials, etc...
Same moods but are they the same compound?
Same tread pattern BUT is it the same TREAD COMPOUND ?
This video was 👎This whole video is supposed to be about sneaky tire companies , there was nothing sneaky about any of them tires , and I don’t see why your so negative about tire brands and knock off brands . Nobody is forcing people to buy knock offs, and just becuase it has the same tread patterns don’t mean it will be good like the real tire . Most likely the 2 tire brands will not wear and perform the same as the real tire brand becuase there not made of the same compound tread patterns don’t make the durable and good the material does
There will be difference in rubber quality and quality control in general. All tires probably will work ok up to 50k kilometers but cheap knock off will baerly make it it to 70k kilometers. Now, you pay $150 or $200 and have around 20-30k kilometer difference, plus how much balancing cheap tires need vs the proper ones. You buy cheap tires if you don't have long term plans with your vehicles.
All i heard is "beware tire companies are sneaky" yes i understand you get the same tread pattern for cheap on a lesser brand, however i didn't not hear where the problem is i might of missed it. But i didn't think he mention what is really wrong with that he didn't say they are defective tires right?
they may use the same mold pattern BUT the Rubber and Extra additive to make the tire last longer and ride better are NOT THE SAME I had a set of mastercraft and only got 25k replaced with COOPER Tire with same Tread pattern got 58K & a much nicer RIDE & the WET tracking was a 100% better then the Cheap mastercarfts !! !!
This guy seems like a troll. His videos have no valid points
Was the load rating and ply the same?
What additive? Can you verify that at all?
Imagine saying Sailuns are great tires and thinking you get to have an opinion
it's what's inside that counts
Air?
You spoke for 3 and a half minutes and said nothing. So cooper had a tread design and Mastercraft copies it. You mean to tell me that it's the same? Bullshit. Compounds are different. Probably even a different number of plys as well.
Different compound of rubber is usually used for the cheaper tire that don't last as long
I bought in to this advice, bought a set of knock offs and would not balance out , non of the 4 would, I even tried beads still lots of vibration so much vibration caused me to have an accident on a wet road going over a bridge, totaled my truck yep get what you pay for .
Hallo!!! Where is answer to this “dramatic” headline.?? Just for clicks, fake video.
so what are you saying don't buy the cheap one or buy the cheap ones it doesn't matter they are the same
the bigger concern is not tread patterns... the most complicated process is belt construction! Most cheap companies have vibration issues because they cant construct a perfectly , balanced , seamless, tire. those cheap brands are the ones you have to worry about belts blowing out and smacking your fenders. tread pattern isnt a issue.
Treads are nothing compares to how the rubber is and how the tire is built, Even retread tires use the same stamping sometimes. I think you saying your tires has been blowing all day from your customers is all I need to know how well you actually know about tires.
I like cooper and the coopers that ive had tend to balance well with minimal weight. I have a mastercraft that will not balance. Im at peace with it, its worn well and i would buy mastercraft again. That said mastercraft appears to be OLD cooper tread patterns likely made with retried cooper dies and definitely held to a lower standard. Its ok, again fine with it, but calling them the same is a bit off. Kind of like calling grapes and raisins the same thing.
A tire also has a soul. Don't insult any random Falken tire.
YOUr not really paying for the tread, sure thats what you look at, but your paying for the sideway construction, and manufacturing quality. I toured a tire manufacturing facility, and they basically buy the tread caps new, the side wall and inner portion are a sort of mix of different rubbers and chemicals, each manufacturer may use propriatary blend of rubber for the inner and side wall construction. They just take the outer cap from whatever major tire company they got them from bond it to their inner tire and, now they have a tire they can say is their own due the sidewall and inner construction. Its kind of a neat process to watch from start to finished tires.
Tires also have different compounds like silica ect. Just like tools there made in only a few places but some have different quality standards then others.
Are (Black Hawk Hisend-H HT01 All Seasons tires) any good? Will they last for 60,000 miles as their warranty says? Are they good for snow and rain? Just wondering....
Perhaps they are the same pattern, but are they the same composite? That is more important.
Yes but do they use the same compounds? Silicon ratios?
Silica, not silicone. Big difference.
So this seems like a obvious conclusion...but is there someone who can offer some supporting evidence to suggest the tire is that much poor quality than the parent companies main offerings. People will pay more for a name and companies know this. There are many cases where the product is exactly the same and they offer a less comprehensive warrantee or a very close replica that differs in ways that offer no effect on function. All I know is that I have a set of Motomaster Total Terrains that I have outlasted any name brand tire I have owned. There is no way in he'll that it's a poor rubber compound.
I've had 3 sets of Motomaster AT 3's. Love em.... tough and long lasting.
This guy lol. He walks around sounding like he just hit a line of cocaine, chats it up with some captivating stuff, and it all kind of sits with me like putting water in a bucket filled with holes. All that taking and he never actually said a single fuckin thing! "This manufacturer and this manufacturer and guys let me tell you and blah blah blah" Christ's sake dude will you say something already! More than likely the tires are made by the cheap names and sell their top quality products to the expensive names, hello! So yes probably same tire 🤣
Is ARROyO tires a good brand I have a 2017 Ford edge titanium 245 5020s They are priced at $127 a tire
Every brand sells their product to companies to use their product with that companies name and logo. As an example. Theres only 2-3 manufactures making all the batteries worldwide. They just swap logos. But yet people will still stand behind their brand of choice saying its the best.
This is nothing new. Just do your homework before spending your hard earned money.
No sir, I've had cheap offbrand Coopers, which I hated, and real Coopers, which I LOVED, looked exactly the same, the actual Cooper blew the others out the water, compound was much softer and it lasted much longer.
BronzeChicken which model were those? I have the cooper discoverer m+s load range e on a 2500 plow truck.
I have a pair of Cooper Discoverer ATs I got used for $20, look new, and I love them so much I'd buy a set new in a heartbeat, they pull great, ride nice and I get great MPG outta them
BronzeChicken yea this guy also says Michelin pilot sports are shitty tires because they come bald from the factory and have no traction in the rain or snow. So if the guy doesn't know that a summer performance tires are not all season and tells people that the best performing tire on the market is the worst tire made I'm sure he don't know anything about cooper tires. I'm sure all this guy sells is cheap Chinese tires
its physically impossible for a tire to be much softer and last longer
Thats with alot if different companies too! Like water, glasses! Etc
Solid information. Thanks for taking the time to explain this. I had no idea.
Adderall hitting hard
Just bought cooper discoverer m+s tires online and found them for less than the mastercraft or telstar equivilents. So it depends on when and where you buy, tire size, etc. In general the mastercrafts run less than the cooper's but not by that much lately.
I have not run the mastercraft or other brands so can't say whether they are the same or not.
I got dextro All-terrain tires and saved a shit ton of money basically half of the cost and they’ve been really good to me
I don't understand your point of the video. So what if they have different priced tires? It's nothing different than any other company selling different products at various price levels to suit customers budget. VW has a $20 k car all the way up to $1M Lambo. Nothing sneaky about it. It's up to the buyer to decide what they want or need.
I'm told Mastercraft is a subsidiary of Cooper and are made in the same factory as Cooper with the same compounds. The Mastercraft Galaier Trex snows looks almost identical to the Cooper Evolution snows with very slight variation in tread block placement and sipe direction, except the Mastercraft "looks" to expel water and slush more efficiently and is $20. less expensive per tire. Just sayin'.
About to try a set of mastercraft. I've always had luck with Cooper. Many don't know that Goodyear now owns Cooper. As of Nov 2022
@Righteous RedNeck Mastercrafts tires are good. Have used them in new or used condition, and they are good.
Hi from Ireland very interesting, I've noticed same thread patterns on low price tires that are twice or more on premium label tires online over here for my 4x4 ,,,BA Goodridge @€250 Vs Event ML @€99 exactly the same thread patterns 🤔👍
Mispronounced alot of Brands names and makes for a tire salesman
Oh, hey there...Yeah!!! you're on point. If they don't make their money on the high-end brand name which they will, richer buyers pay, then they will get you as a budgeted consumer under a second brand, like you said if you didn't think that was sneaky, they will have a brother brand, and a cousin maybe that just came out but is the same company. I have been looking at tires for the last 5 years, and the amount to learn more than just rubber is insane lol. Putting that aside I have a question lol. I was looking at Cooper's discover AT4 4S alterain tires for four-plus years now. I am comparing them with motor Master Xtrails which Cooper designed just for motor master. Pricewise 70 mail-in rebates for the Cooper At3 4s, comes to a difference of seven dollars to the final price of the Xtrail Eliminators lol. I have an on hold. Now to throw another wrench your way, take a look for me at Cooper's rugged trek and a newer one called the...? In evolution you can see a huge resemblance...but the coopers off the bat look the same, but between the Evolution? and the trek, the trek looks more like the xtrail straight up. The cooper both the ones looking like the XTrail, not he at3 4s, the tread has a diagonal angle that just seems better than the extrails, but that is what maybe sets them apart, cooper gave a lot to Canadian Tire, did they save a little for their brand? probably not a lot of hot air here lol. But really Check the Xtail eliminators for me, and the AT3 4S cooper discovers, and tell the one you would go with because it is a win-win I think. One thing though I went to look at both in the showroom at Canadian tire they both looked good, I noticed that pressing on them both the Extrail without a rim in it was firmer and sturdier. I know flex and bend are important for contact, but these are in the same category with the same ply's, and I don't mind the noise or rougher ride. Anyways I live in Edmonton Alberta Canada, and we have the weather that makes you want to leave lol Haha Cold snow winter wise we have good summers, to short though. I have A/T's on my 2009 Santa Fe since I got it the second owner was in the family. I decided to go with a dedicated snow tire last year and was amazed at the stopping traction on ice. AWD Lock gets you going with any tire lol...but parking in the driveway going over rough terrain, the passenger dedicated snow tires weren't solid, they were mushy, I know that is for grip, but I have my other A/Ts on now and they don'[t even has the snowflake on the side, and I already like driving better with them. So, I said I would get a A/T Snow peak rated tire. These are the two for budget and research Which one would you pick...there is one more thing. Reading Xtrail reviews there was one guy that said he and his wife used to only put on At3 4s coopers, but they tried these, and he said if they weren't better, they were at least the same. Only one guy but it stuck. sorry for all the hot air but would appreciate your opinion if you made it this far, and thanks for the video. Cheers for now.
😂 yeah mastercraft tires are crap! It’s what the tire compound is made of that makes the difference not the tread pattern
Anyone ever use the atlas paraller A/T?
My life depends on my tires and I’ll spend money and get the best. Also, I get new tires every 40k miles and sell the old ones on CL.
Bro you know NOTHING about tires
This guy has no idea what he is talking about they are made in different countries, with different quality of standards. It will look the same but not last as long or be as well made
He keeps repeating the same shit and doesn’t make any statements
Name doesn't matter to me anymore but is there a certified stamp on tires for safety pass like motor oil has ase certified
Your doing us a good service, Thank youl
Tread pattern is null it's the compound and silica that matters.
The ratings are the same . So next
Are Firestone tyres as good as Bridgestone tyres ?!
Be careful tire shops are giving Bozo information out there lol
You can find better deals online for tires , than by buying tires at tire shop. You may save up to $60 or more per tire online, so shop around online first before you buy your tire. Some sites give free shipping also, and you can read all the features about any tire before you buy.
Just like tool companies every company does it
Canadian Tire motomaster Total Terrain AT3 = Cooper ATP... identical tire, except for the branding...
Matress companies do the same thing.
Thank you so much for helping to educate us on the tire game, I know I really appreciate this valuable information
Don ellis thank u! For watching
This was just as misleading as the point he was trying to make. There are differences in the tire. Even if it the same mold being used
Ok same punch out but is one better material better quality rubber
Great video , Cooper makes tires for Canadian Tire which brand is MotoMaster up here in Canada .
Who makes Hercules Tires ?
hercules also used to be made in cooper factories, but now Hercules got bought out by American tire dist. so they now source some of there tires to some Chinese factories that make, sailun, ironman, etc.....
Cooper
@@HILLYARDSRIMLIONS Cooper still makes hercules tires for Canada.
I just ordered lexani terrain beasts for 352 and I was looking at the lionhart lionclaws same tire but for 200 bucks more
You’re not saying anything.
There's the key word "Made in China". Chinese manufacture made the tires to look exactly like the USA ties but they used different rubbers and/or component that is not to standard so yeah, your made in China tires are going to blow out. It's about the ingredient or rubbers that goes t make the tires, not how it looks. Good Years dose the same shit and so as every other manufacture out there..selling under their name. ...just a copy right but what goes into making the tires is not the same quality materials makes up the tires. Give this subject to "Project Farm" here on RUclips and he can give us a better comparison.
Interesting just by looking at the tread design on two different brand name tires that are manufactured by the same company, a tire changer can tell you how the tires are made and with what type of Steel, chemical, Synthetic Rubber, Textiles like rayon, nylon, polyester, and aramid fiber.
Cooper tire like other manufacture produce many off brand tire that the market demands especially the super stores that by low and sell high driven by volume. Tire manufacturers have millions of dollars invested in high tech automation machinery that must produce 24/7 to make a profit and keep ahead of the competition.
If you go back 30 to 40 years there were only a few major brands and selection of tires were produced, you will pay about the same price for each one. But now foreign competition has flooded the US market, so these super stores put the pressure on the US manufacturers to compete, and how they competed.
You may wonder why a major brand tire that sale for $200.00 and a tire that looks the same but different brand name manufactured by the same company sales for $125.00 can be the same. Again, it is the materials incorporated into the tire that will determines the increase or decrease the quality and life. One way that might help in determining if you’re that concerned about different brands and pricing is to look at the information code on the tires and if there the same code, that consistent like manufacturing dates, mileage and warranty, then you might what to weigh them to see if there with in the same weight. You may be surprised. This may not tell you the makeup of all the components but will give you a pretty good idea why the differences in the price. Remember, you get what you pay for.
The DOT has strict regulation on the tire manufacturing industry and there is a gray line between quality tire and market driven prices.
Thanks
Is the material different?
It's all shenanigans you are paying for the name to brag blah blah blah this happens with clothes and other products.... ( STATUS )
so is that triangle tire any good?
same tread pattern, but could they have different compounds, yes they can
Hey mark, look at canadian tire certified winter trek tire, its looks like Nokian hakkapeliitta tires. Im wondering if they are good tires
Load and speed ratings have to be considered as well.
But is the seme cuality?? So is like if you going to Payless shoe
Lol That is exactly like Nike vs Walmart. You are only paying for the NAME. Now days every company has a knock off from a cheap company over sea's . Just be careful of the 3rd party company who use same molds but cheaper material or mix old and new and try to sell them as NEW . Mattress Companies are know for restuff. It should not be aloud it is a safety Hazzard and very dangerous in some cases.
Where can a get a usa made tire at a lower price? Thank you for your videos
Douglas at Walmart are made by Goodyear. Only thing I don't like is the side walls are thin, but so are Hankook and a few others. I am on my 3rd set of Douglas all seasons
Black lion by Voracio is an excellent discount tire on my SUV.
Black lion is the previous name of Black Hawk. Ever heard of them, and are they any good? Sailun bought out Black Lion.
I love ryken tires. The raptors are sick.
If you are deciding to buy inexpensive Asian tires do your homework check as many reviews on them as possible . Some are crap , some are very good . Sailun tires are made in China they have great reviews , They came with my Kia when I bought the car new , I'm replacing them now as they are 1/2 worn after 6 years , never had a problem. now I'm replacing them with Nexen tires they also have amazing reviews these are made in Korea
I have Nexen Roadian and they have given me trouble. Many have needed to be plugged. Getting ready to replace my Nexens soon though.
Hope you have better luck with Nexen though.
This video is completely false. Cooper Tires AND Mastercraft tires are 100% made in USA. Their molds ARE NOT made in China.
Cooper Evolution Tour comes out of the exact same USA factory as the Mastercraft HSX Tour does. Same warranty
There are some tire brands I wouldn't buy but the one I will always consider is General Tire , BFG , Yokohama , Falken , Dunlop , Michelin but at the end of the day I like to get a good value for my $ and so I will get the General Tire wheel
Same pattern but rubber might be different
