If I remember right, Pep Boys sells a Cornell tire. Seems like it's a cheaper tire. My dad delivered to Pep Boys stores twice a week. He said the Cornell's didn't even roll off the trailer straight, were a lot lighter than the Futura brand of the same size.
I could be wrong with that name but it sure rings a bell in the gray matter.

That is/was PepBoy's super cheap tire they sold. Those are the ones that they'd sell for about $15 a tire back when I worked at PepBoys back in the summer of 96. We called them Cornell Super CATs...I'm sure I don't need to explain what that stood for. They had a VERY thin sidewall (which did make them very easy to install) that would just flop around when not installed on a wheel. Almost looked like a baloon when installed...and to think people would buy these things to install on trucks and conversion vans!! If they're still available, I'd never put a set on any vehicle I, or a friend or loved one, drove.
Futuras, which are/were made by Cooper Tire, are PepBoys regular brand of tire and are generally a pretty good tire for the money. Their old "V" speed rated, low profile tires were pretty noisy though, but I don't think they sell those any longer.
