Need new tires but too many choices ......

I used to like Tiger Paws, but the last set I bought, the 14's developed busted belts in under 5 years. The 15's are still fine. DK if they even still make them.

I actually LIKE Korean tires. I run Hankooks on my Dakota, but I used to LOVE the Kumho Ecsta 711 that they discontinued.

When I was visiting my wife's family in Akron, I was quite surprised to see the investment in the community the Korean companies were putting forth.
Kumho was in the process of moving their world headquarters there.
Pretty smart, IMO, as the area is super rich with generations of folks who know the tire trades/business.
