Does anyone have an opinion or experience on using non-Michelin tires? I've noticed that the Kumho, Nitto, and Yokohama are about 40% cheaper, and that's a bit more palatable for tires that I'm going to abuse the heck out of anyway. I need a tire that I can use for for some street use, but won't worry about too much if I melt or flat-spot them during afternoon lapping sessions. If there's a big difference that's one thing, but if the other brands are good then it's much easier not to cry over ruining a $190 tire vs. a $320 tire.
