MPSS or Continental's performance tires could be rated worse since they would be compared against all season in wet or snow environments where they fail compared to the low cost chinese tires that managed to have better all around performance. Face it, China has come a long ways and is poised to push most of the tires off the market just like they did with so many other products and dinosaur companies.

For what it's worth Conti ExtremeContacts do very well in rain
I mean they will let go much easier than they would on a hot day but still very respectable wet performance

Does anyone have any experience with these walmart douglas brand tires? They are super cheap ($60, tires usually cost more than $100 per tire in this size) and are made in usa.

The Chinese tires I got could not be balanced to go over 60 mph. They would shake so violently that I thought I was on a washboard gravel road.
>opportunity to go slow and save money on gas and vehicle wear
The only thing that was scarier than going the speed limit was cornering over 15 mph

Light rain may has well have been oil

You should see the difference between low-grade chinese tires and premium tires when it comes to winter tires
Me and a buddy both drive W202 Mercs. I have Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 tires, which were the worlds best winter tires when they were released some years ago. He is on some Minerva IcePlus S210 because he is a cheap fuck.
The difference; hills where he cannot even get up after having gathered speed are hills where I can stop midways and get going again with no issue

Do not tire squeal in front of police. Tire Squeal when accelerating from a stopped position (traffic light or stop sign) can give you a ticket for excessive acceleration. Tire Squeal while the car is moving around a corner or even psedo-drifting (fishtailing actually) due to tires losing grip can give you a racing ticket which is a severe ticket to get. Insurance companies can cancel your policy for felony driving (using the car as the getaway vehicle in a bank robbery), hit-and-run driving (the insurance company hates that), and racing (most policies already explicitly say they don't cover racing). If you do those things, your insurance may abandon you. Anyways, average insurance rate for drivers in this area is about $850 annually. Rates are higher if credit score is low, you have liens, criminal background, or if you have past car problems (dui, speed tickets, auto-related crimes such as car theft).

The chinese tires should be good enough in climates that don't have snow.
We don't have much of a winter here and the cold season is actually kind of short and not all that cold as there is no snow or ice on the ground. So true winter tires are not needed.

Thanx for the heads up. I have ContProContacts and they really stick to the road when cornering. There must have been a giant old stockpile of them for GM to equip my new 2016 with these since ContiPureContacts have been the replacement for some years now. So I am a little disappointed in GM. When these ProContacts wear out, I will probably try the ExtremeContacts unless they are noisy.
How are they noise-wise? I want quiet tires as most of my driving is non-stressful type that doesn't need grippy performance tires. Thus noise becomes the top concern. It's not like I'd use these chinese tires, but if they were rated as #1 for least noise in the world, I would be tempted.
