I have the same tires in 215/65R16. A “normal” tire of that size has 1 polyester + 2 steel + 1 polyamide/nylon on tread and 1 polyester on sidewall as printed on the sidewall… but the Goodyear Reliant has 2 polyester + 2 steel + 1 polyamide on tread and 2 polyester on sidewall. So it should be a slightly better tire…
Why not use the iPhone 4S by your logic?
