Default Deal or no deal?

Ohtsu FP8000 Ultra High Performance 225/35R19 for $99.99 EA

http://www.pepboys.com/tires/details.../1024676/01527

I'm not too familiar with this brand. however I do know in most cases you get what you pay for. So thought I would ask, maybe someone has had some experience with them. If not ill try them out and hope for the best.

Good for cheap, symmetrical tires that can be used to stretch if needed.

I just had my Falken FK452 replaced with them and they are IDENTICAL. When Falken replaced their FK452's with the FK453, they moved the production of the 452 to their subsidiary Ohtsu and rebranded them as FP8000. The price is ridiculously cheap for a such a good tire.

How do these compare with Hankook V12 or Michelin Pilot Super Sport in term of performance?
