[Shotimes] Tire load rating

[Ron Porter]

Guess you also have to define "cheap", but I would say a V or higher rated
tire for under $100 qualifies. The 712 isn't an all-season (plus even the
Tire Rack won't recommend them under 40 degrees or so). If that's not a
concern, the Yoko AVS ES100 is a nice, new-design silica tire. The Kumho MX
is a hair over $100, is a silica tire, and is getting great early reviews.
Dunlop SP 8000s and SP Sport FM901s are also summer-only tires. In the
all-season category, my favorites for the price are the Nitto 450 Extremes.
Other folks have also liked the Falkens and the Yoko Avid V4a.

Getting over $100 opens up a whole 'nother group, and some of the "over
$100" tires go on sale for under $100 on occasion.

There are better "cheap" tires than the 712s, although living where the
temps stay warm eliminate some of the issues.
