Just an FYI:
Private brand tires - like the Arizonian - come in a variety of flavors:
a) Brands and/or lines owned by the tire manufacturer. Some tire manufacturers will produce a line of tires that they sell to dealers at a reduced price. There is no advertising associated with them. Sometimes it's a common brand, but the line is unique to the outlet (dealer or distributor). Sometimes these are off brand names, but otherwise identical to a name brand, advertised product - and sometimes they are completely different. There's no way to be sure, but the UTQG rating might be a clue.
b) Brands owned by a distributor or dealer. The Arizonian is one of those. They can be produced by anyone and not only can that change from time to time, but it is possible for otherwise identically named different tires to be produced by different manufacturers - for example, the P type sizes produced by one manufacturer and the LT's by someone else.
The problem in both cases is that one can not be sure how closely the tire is to a name brand product. It could be anywhere and anything. The UTQG rating may be helpful, but they are no guarantee. Plus, the quality levels - ie balance, uniformity, appearance - could be completely different as well.
