If I am going to put my neck on high performance tires and Porsche has tested them I woul rather select the ones that Porsche approves. I fail to see the connection of money for Porsche with the tires as you allege. Safety is the baseline not money as far as I am concerned.[/QUOTE]


Porsche buys these tires for less money as they endorse and distribute them for the manufacturer. Porsche dealers sell these brands at list price and make plenty of dough on them.

I am not saying they are not good tires, they are simply very high priced. There are many other pefectly good tires to use on your box.
