Good tires are, of course, a better choice, but in the size we're
talking about, there is no reason for them to cost much more than the
35.00 or so that a kuhmo or other mid grade tire will cost. They all
need to pass the same tests and are rated as such.
Tire failures are almost always caused by improper tire care. Old
tires, underinflated tires, etc. are the problem. My Kuhmos have run
fine for many miles with no troubles and they offer better/safer
performance than almost any bias ply tire due to their superior
technology.
