Actually, the all seasons should all be changed to just 3-seasons.

Major brand means you pay a lot more for their advertising budget, not the tire itself. They have good tires, to be sure. But you'll be paying top dollars for them.

LOL~

There is no such thing as "the best brand" in tires. Manufacturers are constantly doing new R&D and leap-frogging each other. When comparing their top of the line products, generally the manufacturer with the newest product out there wins the throne. But competition never stands still, so 3 or 6 months later another manufacturer comes to take over the crown.

Generally speaking, as long as you stick with a reputable manufacturer, their products are gonna be decent. Having said that, a lot of times you'd be paying too much, so to speak, for tires from certain manufacturers. IMO, Michelin is probably the worst offender out there because of their huge marketing, advertising, and sponsorship budget. Pirelli is also quite expensive for what they are. Continental and Goodyear are also on the expensive side.

Personally, I rather like Falken and Kumho because these guys don't blow as much $$ on marketing/advertising, and their products really speak for themselves. Their smaller marketing/advertising/sponsorship budgets means their tires are cheaper as well.

Let's see how your RE-01R compares against other tires in the same class...
For the June 2009 issue. Just got my Grassroot motorsports where they did some Extreme tire testing. Tires were tested in 15 inch sizes on a hond civic.

Here is a summary of times from worst to first.

6th - Falken RT 615 Mean time: 35.302 Sec Quick time 35.125 Sec.
5th - Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec Mean time: 35.209 sec. Quick time 35.061
4th -Toyo Proxes R1R Mean time: 34.522 sec Quick Time 34.452 sec
3rd- Bridgestone RE-01R Mean time: 34.478 sec Quick Time 34.430 sec.
2nd- Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 Mean time: 34.266 Quick time 34.238 sec.
1st - Kumho ECSTA XS Mean time :34.170 Quick Time 34.030 sec.

I guess Kumho really does suck~
