There is alot of truth to that.
I have my own mount and balance machines here so I do my own tire mounting.
I've had alot of different brand tires on that spin balance machine and I can attest that some of those cheaper tires are much harder to balance and take more weight to do so.
I've always been a believer in a good quality tire, and just bite the bullet on cost. In the end it pays off.
