Thanks for the compliment!

Come spring I may start a new thread for just tires and keep it updated as new ones are released and old ones cycled out.

Until then, here's a comparison review that's very relevant for both you, OP, and anyone who's thinking of seriously cheaping out on tires and getting the likes of Ling Long, Nankang, Ironman, etc.

Now this review is getting pretty old but some of the tires they tested are still in production.

Edit: I didn't mean you or OP cheaping out, both your tires and the tires OP's leaning towards are in this review, along with a cheap cheap one.
