Tire Shopping

[Jeff Miller]

They're all round and black.

There are differences between tires, such as the 1" difference in
tread width between brands of the same size & rating, ride, rolling
resistance, quality control, etc.

Buy what brand makes you happy, you're the one that has to pay for
them and drive on them.
