The German motoring association tested inexpensive all-season tires, comparing them to premium-class ones.

Even though the temptation to save up on the tires is as strong as ever, a lot of people fear that cheap Asian tires are incapable of ensuring even the most basic driving safety, and, in order to test their effectiveness, the German motoring organization KÜS, whose full name reads as Motor Vehicle Monitoring Association of Independent Automotive Consulting Engineers, decided to perform a test of its own, comparing six budget tires to a premium-class model.
