But tires are only stamped with the month/year, so no help there in
avpoiding a Friday/Monday product...

People who worked at one of the auto plants in Atlanta would tell you not to
buy cars built on Mondays or Fridays since many workers would take off those
days and temp workers, who didn't know the jobs, would substitute for them. It
may be the same at tire plants.

Traction and noise. Round shape is not sufficient. I've bought two
or three cars that came with Michelin tires, which looked great but
wouldn't hold the road. Bad experiences can improve wisdom, which
leads to good judgement. In my case that process can take years...
I know how my wife drives;
The sam/costco/wallmert tires are never as good as the real thing.
The tire company has no warranty for these. the seller uses their
warranty to keep you coming back.
I am sure the tire co puts the apprentice tire builders on the box
stor tires, and the best tire builders on the OE tires, and
Another thing to consider is if the tire is a big box store "rebrand" of a
tire, like a Michelin or Goodrich. I never had issues with bad belts in tires
until I bought brand name tires from a big box retailer.

Why have you been avoiding Michelins? On parts cars I have seen Michelins that
have to be at least 20 years old that still hold air if that counts for
anything.

Unfortunately I think tire quality can vary significantly between
sizes, as well as manufacturer date, so (insert brand name here)
tires with the same model name can perform at opposite ends of the
quality spectrum, if they are different sizes, made on different
days, made by different plants,

Hmm, I would have used a different subject line, "Yet another reason NOT to but
General tires..."
I've been avoiding Michelin tires for fifteen years, haven't ever tried General
tires, only one slipped belt. Continental and Sumitomo have worked ok so far.
