i think the article is trying to make us think we need to buy a major branded tyre (preferably michelin) instead of the cheaper ones on the market.

i don't agree. i think most tyres on the market will suit mr joe average just fine. believe it or not, most people don't drive like they stole it. no excessive acceleration, no trying to create positive g forces through the bends, no power oversteer on cornering etc etc.

there may be some exceptions but most tyres will be absolutely fine for the family taxi/shopping trolley etc.

as for dunlop sport max - i chewed through a set in less than 20000km on a egas wagon. buying an expensive tyre doesn't mean it is the best tyre for your application. (i didn't buy the tyres, they were on my g6et rims when i bought them).
