I think that the only thing Goodyear lacks in this robbery is a gun. They charge a ridiculous price for those tires and get away with it because they are pretty much the only game in town for a tire in that size and construction. I mean even at the cheapest price of $323 a tire is a little crazy but I too have seen places charging up to $400 a tire. Then like was said you got to pay the shipping on the cheaper ones and most likely still got to pay to have them mounted. I would love to see some other manufactors make more tires in that ranges and give them a little competition, might get them to drop there prices some. I really don't think that the majority of the problem is the place they are made more then the type or construction of ST tires. So that being said the Geostar's made in Thailand just may be as strong as the Goodyears. But who knows.......Just found that Geostars are a Chinese tire manufactured by Nankang of China.....
