Dunno about the others because I've never heard of them, but I do know the 'stones. I've found that with tires, you generally get what you pay for. You pay more for Firestone. You get more with Firestone. You could also look towards Galaxy/Primex. I've faired reasonably well with them. BFG also seems to make a fairly good tire, and as always, Michelin is at the top of the heap. For Bibs, you will pay.... The thing I worry about with cheap tires is the rubber compounds. A lot of the casings break down long before the tire ever wears out on the cheapies, due to dry rot. You might be as far ahead to buy a good used set from somebody that ran firesones on the asphalt a lot. Still got a good casing with some wear.... Personally, I stay clear of Armstrong/Titan at all costs because their casings are garbage. If you can still find the last fo the Good Years on the go, you might find a good long lasting casing with an undesirable lug..... Like I said, Firestone will give you about the best value, but not the cheapest price. Good luck. Rod
