The Korean tires are low cost but much safer than tires from other countries (excellent quality control in the ROK).

Some of our low-cost tires with western-sounding (English) names come from terrible places like Venezuela and blow out unexpectedly.

From the look of the tread pattern, I would figure that that tire gets pretty decent wet-pavement traction as well.
