I had a major brain fart and got my tires replaced at a small country store and all they had were the kelly tires. Dont ask me why I ended up in that store, it's a long story.
These tires have absolutely no wet traction and almost no dry traction. these tires suck. I'm not lying when I say it's got no traction. My tires sleep on morning dews. I dont go anywhere when it's raining because I dont wanna get into an accident. but the worst part is this, I've had this tire for about 50,000 miles (it's finally time to replace them) and at about 10,000 miles the tires started to develop this thump thump noise. I lived with those noise for 40,000 miles now. It wasnt due to balancing or alignment, the tires just kept wearing unevely because it was made of so piece of **** material. Dont ever buy kelly tires. I paid over 400 bucks for these. I guess this is why experience is so important.

another off brand tire story...

About 3 years ago, I had run over something (presumably very sharp) and it took out my 2 passenger side tires on a 96 Sentra. Went to Discount tire (mistake no.1) to see if they had the same General tires in stock. They didn't. So the ever so informed sales guy showed me what they had in stock on their 'quality' line of Arizonan tires. Not wanting to have my friend drive me to another tire place, I got the arizonans (mistake no.2). They were loud, had bad traction in most situations. 15K later, one of em pulled a Firestone on the highway at 75 mph. The sidewall had just disintigrated. I wasn't in the mood to make a scene at the discount tire where I bought them, I went to goodyear and had the blownout tire and the other Arizonan replaced. I will never buy another off brand tire again. It ain't worth the time, expense and potential danger.
