Vitour Galaxy R1 GT Tires

All tires sold in the American car market must meet DOT standards. Cheap Chinese tires aren’t dangerous if they are properly installed and maintained. They usually have some compromise over a more expensive brand name tire, like more road noise or they will wear out a little faster.

Higher speed and load ratings amount to a more robust tire overall. When I buy cheap tires I like to go up in load rating and look for at least an H speed rating. This is my personal preference after a few years in the tire industry and performance automotive world.
