how bad are Chinese Virgins

Well, I bought an used truck and was forced to buy new tires, because the truck didnt have a DOT inspection. The only place around, which had 8 tires in stock was Loves and it was either chinese Aeolus for $300 a piece, or Michelin for double the price. Loves manager said that I will be happy with Aeolus and will get 250k out of them. So I got them, but so far cant review them, cause I put only 7k on them.
I know Double Coin is a very popular Chinese brand and Michelin owns 50% of them or so

 

Double Coins were the lopsided out of round ones I wouldn't buy.

 

I hope I never see the day when I only get 250,000 mi out of a drive tire.

 

That's the big difference between a good tire and a cheap one. As soon as I stopped buying cheap tires. I started seeing big miles out of my tires.

 

That is because the translation was wrong.... They get a 72 year old virgin and not 72 virgins.... Shhhh don't tell them.

 

I agree. 350-400k should be the minimum, even on higher horsepower trucks. If you can't get that much either it's an inferior tire, or there is an alignment or mechanical issue with the truck.

 

That's IF you are running 80k or under all the time.

 

I ran a set of Double Coin 400's as drives -- got them CHEAP off truck left at the mechanic. Lost right at 3/4 of a mpg. The only bad thing is that they wouldn't wear out. Cost a lot of $$ to wear those #### things out. Rolling resistance is 167!!!!!!!

 

The virgins are all goats!
