I'd be interested to know how you came to this opinion.

I'm guessing it's because of the name and Korean tire reputation. I don't see how anyone can look at data and come to that conclusion.

They mounted a new set of these wagon wheels on my car from the second hand dealer, I replaced them with tons of tread left the next summer. In forty six years of watching tires be sold at my dads I found Michelin to be #1 and frankly they have been there a long time. Pirelli makes nice rubber too but it can wear quickly. The only thirteens I could find for the Fiat are Kumho solus and they squeal like a little girl, the XZX that were on there never made a sound just got old.
