I agree that the price of the tires matters. But remember that the cost of mounting them also matters. My Michelin's had a very high rating for durability, and I have noticed the cheapo tires generall have very low ratings. If you have the mount tires twice as often, you pay that fee per tire twice as often and the ROI calculation for the pricier, LRR tires changes significantly.
