Price for tires?
This is an old debate, do you use Snap-On wrenches or Tru-Value, they
both turn a bolt, ... box wine or ??, ...

I've driven new Toyos on one coach, sold them and bought new
Michelins, swapped Michelin to Dunlop, then Goodyear, then back to
Michelin on another, ... Bridgestone, Firestone, to Michelin, I
personally feel that there is enough difference in ride and handling
that I will pay the difference at least on the steer axle where I
ride. Yeah, I'm a tire nut.

Others are perfectly happy with other brands, or prefer them, no
wrong answer. All a matter of opinion or preference.

I will say however that people buying coaches prefer to see Michelins
on it to any other brand in my experience, probably why Kenworth,
Prevost, Peterbuilt, others equip them as standard on the top-line
trucks and buses.
