Replacement Tyres for Model S

[Jagxk8]

Have to replace 4 tyres on my 2017 Model S at 53,000miles. This is second set of boots from new and have no issues with Michelin Pilots as shod. My tyre specialist has recommended looking at Hi Fly brand(Korean) and has told me they are priced at £105 per tyre as opposed to £235 per tyre. This is a big difference. My question is has anyone out there experience with the cheaper tyre and how do they perform??

Was there a reason for the recommendation besides the price?

I don't have experience with that specific tire, unfortunately. But that was definitely my price range when I was in High School lol

A tire that I might have chosen when I was 18 years old (because it was all I could afford) would be a tough sell for my Model S.

I’m using currently these Yokohama tyres, on 19” rims. Have had long confidence in their winter lineup for years.

I got 4x Pirelli P Zero tires with B A EU label for 145 each which was a great deal for me. If i buy them now, they would cost 200 bucks new.
How I got them 55 bucks cheaper than the market?
They were discounted because their production date was 2.5 years ago.
Do I care? Not at all because with the amount of driving I do, in 2 years their threads will be done.

Tire webshops often make discounts for tires that wait in their warehouses.
