@taxiguy: the quality of tires is different in different countries - an in the USA usually the quality is lower than in Europe.
At my round-trip in 1993 I was wondering about the plenty of bursted tires and tire-parts besides the highways, many more than in Europe.
At shops I've seen, that in the USA the tires are much cheaper (alloy wheels, too) than at home. It has some reasons...
Some years ago, Audi (or VW?) had problems with US-customers. They complained, that the comfort was getting lost. The reason was, that they've mounted premium high-speed-tires
on the cars - which were senseless in the USA. So they called the cars back and have changes the tires to the cheaper, smoother US-version.
