Well they will be a bargain IF they stand up and perform for the longer term like the RA 08's. My RA 08's have performed really well and I have just put a new set on. Last year I drove through several snow storms and two chain up areas with fairly worn set of RA 08's. I really like the Hankooks and will stick with them. Maybe GoForm can make a tire in China for half the cost that will do as well but I am a skeptic. Good luck with them.
