If you scroll to the bottom of that page you will see this: "Micheldever Tyre Services Ltd T/A Protyre" T/A means "trading as" so my post is correct. Simon

The myth that manufacturers select the best possible parts for the vehicles they build once again rears it's head. Most major Manufacturers don't select the best possible parts for the vehicles they build (even at the top of the range models). They select the cheapest parts they can get that will (when all together) allow the car to pass type approval and get satisfactory reviews. Sometimes that might mean putting a prestigious manufacturers tyres on the vehicle - but they'll be almost certainly produced down to a cost as OEM fitments. Tyres are especially one area where they'll squeeze the cost down as much as possible - after all they're only on until the first replacement. There's a joke that especially with american cars (and bikes) that the suspension, wheels, tyres, and in some cases even brakes are only fitted at the factory so the car or bike can be rolled out of the showroom when sold.
