I guess it's a bit like tyres on a car. I don't buy expensive cars,
when it comes to replacing tyres I tend to buy cheap as I'm not looking

You might buy an expensive performance sports car in which case you'd
probably be quite prepared to pay for expensive tyres in order to keep
the benefits which go with them. Putting cheap tyres on means it
doesn't perform as well so why spend the money on it in the first place?


On the owner's group for my car a fairly common term is "TDF", applied
to the tyres often fitted to cars imported from Japan.

It stands for "Taiwanese Ditch Finder".
