I sent an e-mail asking about their (High-Tech's) tires a few days ago; I got the response today. Here's the question I asked:
I've been thinking about replacing the tires on my truck with a set of Green Diamond tires and I like the stuff I see on your site. One question, though: if I order a set of 265/75/16s from your site, how do I know that they'll all say the same thing on the sidewall? I know it sounds dumb, but I would like them all to be the same type of tire so that the sidewalls all say the same thing. Is there any assurance that they will all be the same?
And their response:
dear Jon,
Thank you for your e-mail, generally the tires we send out will be matching sets. However to make sure you may request that this be put on your invoice. In this size tire they are generally Michelin casings.To give you a price including shipping and handling I will need three things.
Tire size, tread design, and your zip code.
A little general information: we use a full grade truck rubber on all our tires.
Our truck rubber contains 15 to 20 percent natural rubber, which will disperse
heat better,it's more cut resistant, and gives better adhesion to the tire.
We computer build and balance all tires.
Tires are available with green diamonds, making them the ultimate
all weather tire. Green diamonds are small carbide particles that
we systematically blend throughout the tread rubber. This gives you
traction similar to a studded tire, but with No noise and No seasonal restriction.
The tires maintain their traction and ability for the life of the tread.
This means you get superb traction on dry, wet, snowy, or icy roads.
They can be run in all 50 states year around.
Tires come with a two-year or 24,000 mile workmanship and material warranty,
excluding off-road.
We except MasterCard, Visa card, Discover card, and money orders.
Our toll-free number is 1-877-439-0759 M-f 8 to 5.
Alternate number 1-605-662-5145

I may still go for it, though the Kumho Ventures aren't a whole lot more and are brand new tires.
