The $910.00 Japanese tire is a better deal because......For one you are saving 25% right off the top, two, Japan doesn't manufacture any inferior tires. Bridgestone/Firestone Tier1, Yokohama tier1, Toyo tier2 and finally Sumitomo tier2. In other words, all quality. Lastly DO NOT believe the hype that an extra 2 plys are worth an extra $300 dollars because it is not. Yes they handle extra weight (minimal) but you'll be lucky to see any extra mileage at the end of the day. As a tire dealer, cost difference between a 14 and a 16 ply tire of the same make/model ranges anywhere from $10-25 more although alot of tire weasels will try to bang you for an extra $75-100. Even China as of late has been putting out more and more top quality tires. I know of a couple brands whose steer tires will give 120-150k miles easy, granted your suspension/alignment are up to par. Just my .02
