Tire - Canadian tire Motomaster LXR
SJ
It's from Canadian Tire's OEM brand, Motomaster LXR,
premium all season. 130,000km warranty.
The simple reason to choose this was they sell the 2nd tire for 50% off.
^^;;
So I paid $80 + $15(nstall) + 15% tax each. Total $430 for 4 tires.
They said Motomaster tires are made by Michelin or BFGoodrich.
Is that right? Did I choose good tire?

"Manufactured by Michelin or B.F. Goodrich" does not necessarily equate to
"Manufactured to Michelin or B.F. Goodrich specifications."
Major manufacturers will often manufacture privately labeled parts/tires in
order to keep their assembly lines running at full capacity.
The major manufacturers own the specialty equipment that would be
prohibitively expensive, and offer no acceptable payback of investment for
a smaller private brander to purchase and operate.
Tires, oil filters, shocks, springs, suspension components, etc. are all
often "farmed out" by private branders to a major manufacturer who builds
the private brand product using the specifications and materials
designated/provided by the private brander.
Nobody can own a manufactured item cheaper than the company that owns the
machinery that built it.
Anybody who hires a company to build products must pay enough for the
manufacturing company to make a profit, so even if the private brander were
to sell a product equal in quality to the manufacturer's own brand, the
private brander would be paying more for the product than the manufacturer.
The way that private branders are able to sell something cheaper than the
product that the manufacturer offers is, simply, the use of cheaper
materials/processes.
The old saw, "You get what you pay for", is still pretty valid today.

I've used them before, and been quite happy with them.

Bob, Thanks for your answer.
Of course, manufacturing cost can not be beaten by anyone else than
manufacturer.
That's true, but what about other costs need to be added to the consumer
price, such as
commercials, marketing, sposoring and wholesaler and dealer margin etc.
which are huge portion of the price.
Manufacturer for the Motomaster tire does not pay anything other than
manufacturing and shipping cost.
Simply supply tires to Canadian Tire warehouse.
So IMO they may sell with competitive price for good one.
By the way, my point was whether LXR is good or not.

i see the answer as "Are you happy with them?".
I've been buying Cdn Tire tires for 20 years.
always satisfied with the price/performance.
road hazard is one other reason. there are
much better tires at higher prices. but, for me,
these are good enough. maybe for you too.

gotten as good or usually way better performance out of them then I
expect for a cheaper tire.
I currently run BFG Mud tires and previously my Jeep CJ7 had Motormaster
tires on it. Same tread pattern, but only 2 sidewalls compared to the
'way' more expensive BFG's with 3 sidewalls.
We had 5 or 6 Jeeps, CJ's, YJ's, TJ's and a Cherokee on a winter bush
run and went down an ice covered 20' bank to cross a creek in the
trail. On the way back, everyone with all sizes and flavors of
'serious', read 'expensive' off road tires had to be winched up the wall
to get out.
Then this YJ with these 'cheap' Canadian Tire AT tires, just walks up it
like nothing putting all the others to shame! No winch needed....
'He' sure was happy with his choice of tires that day too!
He sold the YJ, bought a TJ, lifted and 33" mud tired it and kept the
31" Motormaster AT tires to run in the winter. He still does great with
them on our snow runs.
