I've liked the hankook tiers on the jetta. Pretty decent for what they are and have been wearing reasonably well. The previous owner put them on shortly before I bought the jetta. I've put close to 50k miles on it since I've had it. I'll be replacing them before this winter, probably with the same tires.
I love freezing it in jars, lasts for months.
We used to cure Big O and another light truck tire that I can not remember where I work. They were built on the same machines and cured in the same presses as the "name brand" tires.
But but but, you're gonna die

Bet it was a fully automatic one too!
Frees up more money for fishing gear!
One time I told a guy who decided to blatantly snag right next to me and a friend(total disregard for the fact that we were there first ) that he shouldn't be keeping fish he illegally snagged there. He got pissed and slashed all my tires. Just so happens there's a junkyard not far, got 4 wheels and tires and I was on the rd in around an hr for 80 bucks. I probably shouldn't have driven on them, but I did for a couple yrs iirc...
This Michelin was from 2005 I think. They were on my '66 when I bought it. I was cruising through the back roads to my buddy's house and it just went flat a few years ago, no blow out or anything, the inner sidewall just separated and then shredded it from running on the rim for a half mile or so. I will run on sketchish tires myself, but always keep something good on stuff my wife drives. I typically don't get concerned about tries till they start showing signs of dry cracking, and even then I will still run them for a while and just avoid the interstate.But but but, you're gonna die
Some people crack me up.
I'll get some pics of the next bike I build with the speedo at a buck fifty(at the track of course) on some 20yr old tires. Hope I make it til then driving on my craigslist specials lol.
There's probably a greater chance of most in this thread dying because their house catches fire or a chainsaw accident then getting injured from a tire blowing out on the rd.
Super Swampers, great for mud, terrible on ice. I chuckle to myself when someone brings a truck in complaining that their oversized chicom mud tires from xyztire.com are awful on icy/snowy roads. Then we explain what makes a good winter tire and sell them a set of winter wheels/tires if they want one.
I have over the years had a few let go but they always seemed to be at slow speeds. I had one loose half the thread on the highway. Yeah, it was an old tire. We have had our share of junk Michelin car tires. I had them on my Blazer without any issues. Those were LT tires. The ones we had on our Acura back then were junk. So we're the replacements. I also has a set of Michelin rain tires that were fine on my past BMW. I have had a few Goodyears with flopping sidewall cords.But but but, you're gonna die
