White letters that say Kumho of Hankook don't really appeal to me.

I have Mastercraft Avenger GT's on my old police car, BSW out 235/70/15. I don't have any complaints but maybe I'm less picky than others. I like the American vintage looking tread pattern and American looking sidewall writing and the decent price.

Get the tire you want with a black wall and put the lettering on you want. I just found this site: www.tirestickers.com Can also get through Summit

Well the one set I ever had to deal with was on my daughter's Explorer when we bought it, they weren't avenger gt's. They had all the traction of a monkey with a greased football. When we replaced them with a set of Michelin LT's the difference was so noticeable she even commented on it. Both ride and traction were substantially improved.

I have Cooper CS5s(USA)on the wife's dd and Discovers on my truck(USA) Had many sets of Coopers in the past,zero issues with any of them. Had a set of BFGs on my B'cuda since mid 90s(245 and 225/60) Replaced them last year with another set(255 and 225/60R 15) Likely made in MX(I didn't check) but they mounted and balanced fine using a Hunter Road Force machine and the car drives excellent.
15s are tough...low demand.
My thoughts? Buy the Cooper or BFG...mount them blackwall(easy for me as I'm not a white letter fan) balance them on a good machine(Hunter) and enjoy! Good luck!

Right now I have Hankook Kinergy 275-60-15 on my beat up old RR. Nobody ever noticed that it's an SUV tire on a Ford wheel. I noticed for about a week, then they became just tires and wheels. I've had all kinds of tires over the years and like them all. I just used what was reasonable and easy to get. This last time it was between Hankook and Hercules, and Hankook was cheaper and had faster delivery, so that's how I decided. The Hankook Kinergy is slightly more narrow than a Futura Super Sport (Cooper), which in turn is slightly more narrow than a BFG TA.
68 Roadrunner. 383 4-spd. Beat up.
