if nothing else at least use the EU tyre labels as a guide :

by the tyre with the best rating you can afford and you won't go wrong.

I run some on my Insight, decent review on ADAC and I wanted them for LRR, no problem at all and the rears have been on there probably 40k. Certainly quieter than then OEM Bridgestone I have on the front imported from the states.
The tyre labelling system is almost as useless as the EU themselves. It measures one single parameter related to actual grip, wet braking. Apparently wet cornering, aquaplane resistance, dry braking, dry cornering and cold weather performance are completely irrelevant as long as you can stop in the wet.

Look at the tyres that achieve an A or B in wet braking though. They are all good tyres.
The tyre labelling system works for people like the OP who don't know or care much about tyres.

That's exactly when they don't work. The categories are oversimplified, but the overall labelling system is complex, so unless you understand exactly how the categories work it's useless.
For instance, how many tyres can you find with a category D rating for any parameter?
A Goodyear Eagle F1 has to be a good tyre right? Did you know there are two different versions with (apparently) significantly different wet braking performance?
That is normally the case though
On what closed minded planet is that? Outside the computer geek comunity, who would have heard of an MSI motherboard or corsair ram (or whatever the latest greatest name is)? Does that stop them being good products?
