Hey guys
Here's and example: My wife had a Z28 Camaro. She
mounted a set of cheap H rated Generals because the tires
were on sale and she thought they looked good. The car
was fine cruising around town but when we took a vacation with
it, the car wandered all over the road at high speeds
and with a little wind they were downright dangerous.
I sure wouldn't mount anything less than a VR rated tire on
my Corvette whether I cruised around town or not. There are
plenty of idiots out there that want to race me on the
road (including Acuras). I'm saying that if you have the HP
then sooner or later you will use them and I wouldn't wan't
to be on a cheap tire. I think the extra money for a quality
tire is well spent. I would like to know how many accidents
were caused by bad tires. I had one that was tire related years
ago and had a few close calls because of cheap tires.
