The tires I now plan ca 2Monate, and in particular the wet grip (not hydroplaning but just wet road, how to two-thirds of the year) is at a level from which the Bridgestones and anyway all cheap tires were light years away / are. Anyone who thinks it clever to save the tires 100 / sentence against good brand goods, should be expected to even know what the smallest bump wg lack of reserves costs, not to mention life and limb.
In short, those things are worth the price.
