Did you know that the new Skoda is actually a VW? Or is it just badge snobbery?

For a number of us on this forum who have actually fitted and ridden extensively on these tyres it's the performance that counts rather than some perceived notion of manufacturing or stylistic inferiority.

I totally agree. I dont hang around too much on roads I know & I trust Hong shen, yin tong ping, or even maxxis tyres. Whatever they are called, they do what it says on the tin at a fraction of the cost of the "named" brands & I do ride in all types of weather.
Why pay over £200 for tyres when Maxxis do the same job?, or do you have to have the latest Pirrelli super dooper dragon corsa XZR234 GP?
