I was pretty confident of what brands you were going to mention but even more curious as to see if you would mention Goodyear, and where it would be on your list - which you just happen to not mention.  |
OK. Lower than Pirelli and Michelin. Higher than General and Kumho. And indirectly, I did mention them, since they own Dunlop. Which I like. They also own Kelly Springfield and Cooper, which I put quite a bit lower. And they do contract manufacturing for department stores, which I put even lower.
Edit: I guess that brings up the issue of tire company consolidation. I would put BF Goodrich in the middle somewhere, and don't give them any points for now being owned by Michelin. I ignored Bridgestone, but would have put them higher than I would have put a product from the combined Bridgestone/Firestone company that exists today. And all of this is across the brand; individual tire models may be much better or worse than this subjective ranking in a particular application.
