I very seldom mention brand names in my comments about ST tires unless it’s a technical condition being discussed.
The reason for that is, one never really knows if it’s a tire re-branded or not. The China manufacturing plants will brand a tire with brand names requested by the USA wholesaler.
Each tire has a plant code. That plant code will lead you to a manufacturer. With some more deep research you can find out other tire brand names manufactured at the plant. I suspect your retailer has those tires in stock which makes the sale much easier for them. You retailer has a huge volume of sales. When pressed for a more well known brand name, I’m sure they will find them for you.
On the other side there is the tire they are offering. Is it steel cased? Almost all of them came from the same China plants. The name is changed to satisfy the seller.
