"Diamond Back is the newest brand from China's largest tire company."
Find someone else to buy tires from, seriously. |

| If you want tires, get ready to spend some cash. Get good ones. |

Yeah, sounds like some cheapo tires at best.
Tires have zero effect on power. It doesnt have less power than before.
If you want all seasons, get some Avons. The Falkens are nice too, but I liked my last set of Avons even better.
If you want summer tires, there are a lot of good choices out there. Falken Azenis are very nice, but you will only get about 10,000 - 15,000 miles out of them (they are typically used for autox). Avons TECH M500s are also very nice choices. All of the ones I have mentioned are approx. $100 each. |

well i never heard of this tire but new brands aren't always bad.. there is FUZION... i think it was 2 maybe 3 years ago when they came out with those tires. Go tirerack and read the tests.. FUZION ZRI is outperforming most of the big brands.. dunlop, bridgestone, michelin, etc etc etc
if you need cheap summer tires then ZRi is the way to GO!
but i bouth kumcso ecsta spt's. |

Those look like my Triangle tires. They say performance tires but trust me, they are nowhere near that. They do last a long time though, as they are made of super hard compound. And, I do hope you paid under $100 for each, otherwise you got ripped. And by a long time, I would say they last much longer than the 400 rating they suggest.
Oh and the tires I bought are Triangle KR968, note the number. lol. Again, good DD tires, but nowhere near performance tires. |
