Some here will falsely claim there's no benefit, maybe they're broke, maybe they're ignorant, don't beat up on them until you know what for sure .

A valid point, cheap tires are better than bald tires. I was in that boat myself when I first left the nest, and my parents never got out of that boat. That wasn't the claim that was made, though.

I do not agree that $50 tires give adequate performance. Maybe in a dry climate all the time, but I'd take a second job and sell assets before I put $50 tires on my car. Even my utility trailer got better tires than that.
