That's a matter of opinion. As far as tires go... it's how they perform in real life as to whether or not they're any good. You can pay nearly 200 a tire for some Parada's or Proxes... yet they don't neccesarily perform *that* much better than any other generic brand. You're paying for a brand name, that's all. If that's enough to buy you, then so be it... In this specific case... I've run an entire slew of tire brands on numerous cars... from Toyo Proxes, to Falken Ziex/Azenis, to Yokohama Paradas, to Kumho Supras, to my most current Wanli's. Even if generic, they perform far superior to all of my last sets of tires, short of the Falkens. The Paradas went bald within around 25,000 miles, while the Proxes lasted only a bit longer. The Wanli's I'm currently running are at a bit over 11,000 miles and are still running very strong, still grippy, still quiet. I personally dislike Kumhos... they just get really loud, really fast. The Falken Zeixs I ran prior to running the Paradas were the best. They only went because I switched rims, and the only size of Ziexs Les Schwab had were 205/40's at the time... and I didn't want that. Anyways, if you're buying for a brand name... fine. That however, doesn't mean other generic tires are bad. All in all, I liked all of the tires I've run so far, except for the kumhos. My personal favorites, Wanlis and Falkens. LatinKraze: The tread rating is 280 and they run very well in wet weather. IMO, better than Kumhos, Paradas, and Azenis, but not quite as good as Proxes, or Ziexs...
