It is like Michelin makes BF Goodrich tires. One company will produce different brand names of tires.

Thats true but for example Goodyear makes tire models like F1 asymmetric, F1 GS-d3, RS-A, Excellence etc. which all are different and are meant for different type of cars and different type of driving.

Goodyear also owns tire companies like Dunlop, Fulda, Falken and Kelly which make tires on their own names.

yep thats the ones i was referring to Hearing things like this reminds me of when I was kid really struggling between buying the SNES version of Samurai Showdown or the Genesis port. The SNES version had milk and smaller sprites but had the endings and better animation, while the Genesis version had blood and nicer sprites. I remember constantly rereading issues of EGM trying to decide which was the best for me, looking at one set of screenshots versus another set.

i hear what you are saying but during that scenario did you ever consider......

Early photosynthetic systems, such as those from green and purple sulfur and green and purple non-sulfur bacteria, are thought to have been anoxygenic, using various molecules as electron donors. Green and purple sulfur bacteria are thought to have used hydrogen and sulfur as an electron donor. Green nonsulfur bacteria used various amino and other organic acids. Purple nonsulfur bacteria used a variety of non-specific organic molecules. The use of these molecules is consistent with the geological evidence that the atmosphere was highly reduced at that time.[citation needed]
Fossils of what are thought to be filamentous photosynthetic organisms have been dated at 3.4 billion years old.[11]
The main source of oxygen in the atmosphere is oxygenic photosynthesis, and its first appearance is sometimes referred to as the oxygen catastrophe. Geological evidence suggests that oxygenic photosynthesis, such as that in cyanobacteria, became important during the Paleoproterozoic era around 2 billion years ago. Modern photosynthesis in plants and most photosynthetic prokaryotes is oxygenic. Oxygenic photosynthesis uses water as an electron donor which is oxidized to molecular dioxygen (O2) in the photosynthetic reaction

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

very interesting I didn't know Goodyear made those brands. I remember there used to be a Riken brand kinda went with the Falken brand. I remember Cooper tires and Kelly tires but I don't see those much anymore. I remember seeing Tigerpaws/Uniroyal? the tire that is suppose to seal itself if it gets a nail?
This is like car batteries there are just a few companies that make all of these different brands. I wonder who makes the tires for Kirkland?

I also know the BFG radial TA'S have a good ride quality but they are an S rated tire and I never got more than 15,000 miles on them when I ran them on my 93 GT,and my 92 LX coupe. But they road well and hooked awesome because they were such a soft compound. They were also reasonably cheap. Might consider them also.

15,000 miles that not much. You must drive your car hard. The lowest miles I have ever got were on some Goodyears V-rated at 43,000 miles with little tred but not bald.

All tires that mean to be used without inner tube seal themselves around nail. They are called tubeless, it is written on tire wall. The inner surface is so soft. Nail punctures are very easy and quick to repair in tubeless tires unlike punctured inner tube.

Uniroyal is owned by Continental.

balding is not good...

a way to combat it is.....

Rogaine works by revitalizing shrunken hair follicles, thus increasing their size. When you use Rogaine every day, your follicles may increase in size, and the growing phase may become longer. This may then produce longer, thicker hairs.
Rogaine is a clear alcohol-based solution and should be applied to a person’s thinning area with its supplied dropper or spray twice a day.
The solution is approved and available in two strengths -- Regular (2%) and Extra Strength (5%). Individual users of regular strength Rogaine have claimed success rates of 30-40%. Meanwhile, users of Extra Strength Rogaine have claimed success rates of 50-60%. Currently, the average price for a 2oz. bottle of Rogaine is about $20-30 per month. Minoxidil is also available as a generic and can be purchased over the counter without prescription.
It’s important to note that Rogaine (minoxidil) does not cure baldness and scientists have been unable to determine just how it works. What is known is that Rogaine increases the blood flow to the areas of the scalp that surround these balding areas. Currently some researchers believe that Rogaine (minoxidil) works by opening the follicle’s potassium channels located in the cells. It’s theorized that these channels, when opened, may regulate hair growth.
Rogaine can’t grow hair on completely bald scalps or in the frontal hairline areas. It has been found to be somewhat effective in maintaining or growing hair in the crown area (the top back of the head). However, Rogaine is only effective at delaying hair loss. It is also more effective in women than in men. And again, the reasons for this are not understood

I don't see any Tigerpaw Uniroyal tires on cars. The nail advertising didn't work.

There is Dunlop GT qualifier or BF Goodrich which I see on alot of older cars but I don't know what the speed ratings on those tires are. If t here is no speed rated stated then is it an S rated tire?
