[net.auto] What is a Breakstone radial tire?

kfr (04/14/83)

Does anyone in netland have any information/opinions
on Breakstone radial tires? The top of the line $90 tire
is on sale for April for $60. I've never heard of the
company, but the local Firestone dealer (STS - Somerset
Tire Service) is pushing them.

When I started to answer this article I thought the
original author was asking about Bridgestone
tires.  By the way what the heck \is/ a Breakstone tire.

My personal choice for tires is either one of the Goodyear NCT
series.  I'm running the European 205HR60/13s on  my RX-7 now
the tread compound and the steel belts make them harsher than
the Goodyear Wingfoots they replaced.  The other good bet for
a premium tire is the Phoenix Stahlflex 3011.

Breakstone tires?  Really?
I've heard of Breakstone yogurt and cottage cheese,
but tires?

I also knew someone from Vermont named Joel Breakstone,
but he was neither into tires or yogurt!
