Tyres

also whats wrong with the polo? im trying to understand how that example is the slightest bit relevant

If you were a snotty executive at Lamborghini would you want your company's brand name on a Polo?

I mean.. they're built to a price and I have no doubt that for the price they're good cars. But no.

you do realise there is a difference between a cheap tyre and a dodgey tyre right? a cheap tyre under-performs, a dodgey tyre blows out and sends someone into a tree at 100k's an hour. kinda like the difference between a korean car and a chinese car.

many big tyre companies have different brands in their own company for marketing reasons, for example admiral tyres and kuhmo, they are targeted at people who dont care about performance or road comfort etc, but these tyres are still safe structurally and have to maintain their safety as although admiral takes the brunt of the low end cheap tyres reputation to the average consumer, when it's structural failures that happen, it's kuhmo who have to answer.

that aside i still not convinced gislaved are all cheap and nasty tyres let alone dodgey, i think they are just a subsidiary for conti who already have an established brand in the sweden market

i wouldnt rule out the shop's part in this, tyre shops can be farkin dodgey, believe me.
