History: Somewhere along the line, they acquired/bought the Starfire brand, and then they created(?) the Mastercraft brand (apparently in homage to the company being known as the Master Tire & Rubber Company prior to being renamed Cooper).Īs with Olds and Mercury, it would be a fairly large effort just to kill off one of these brands. Sell Price 1 Type Ore Source Astro Golden Chest, Mining. Smelting will take 25000 Seconds per Bar using Forge Slot 1. They're using Mastercraft as their middle tier tires, and Starfire on the low end. Description Smelt down 500 Ores into 1 Bar at the Forge. This way, Michelin can sell a cheaper/lower technology tire (as a Uniroyal), yet not risk tarnishing the established Michelin brand.Ĭooper is doing this as well. Being self-motivated and able to learn quickly allows you to succeed in many areas, whether inspirational or practical. Humanitarian and generous with your time, you are often compelled to offer your services to make life easier for others.
Uniroyal on the low end, BFG in the middle, and Michelin on the top end. Your name of Starfire gives you a clever, logical mind and a common-sense approach to life. as they would be if all three both sold Cooper branded tires.Īlso, "positioning". and all three retailers can be in the same town, yet they're not in direct competition with each other. Marketing: The company can sell Cooper tires to retailer A, Mastercraft tires to retailer B, and Starfire tires to retailer C. Probably a combination of marketing and history. I'll run them until they lose all their wet grip though and probably get something better, or maybe not if I'm selling the car. Putting some more air in them sharpens up the handling quite a bit and they do suprise me sometimes how well they grip in the dry. A good tire to put on before you sell a car I guess! A little noisy, not great wet traction, softish sidewalls.
My Focus came with practically new SF340's, and they are OK. Maybe also it allows them to keep producing the previous generation in tire technology? And also allows the manufacturer to compete in the low end while preserving there main brands reputation. Someone posted here that the second line is normally sold without a good warranty. Many of the modern surnames in the dictionary can be traced back to Britain and Ireland. So I can understand why a dealer group might want its own brand - sold strictly on price.īut I don't understand why a tire manufacturer would encourage this - or why this even works. Historically, surnames evolved as a way to sort people into groups - by occupation, place of origin, clan affiliation, patronage, parentage, adoption, and even physical characteristics (like red hair). Those large buyers can get significant discounts because of the volume. I can understand a small tire dealer trying to compete with a WalMart or a large chain. It would appear to be counter productive for the tire manufacturer. Somehow his communicator wound up in his food, but anyways, it reports that Cinderblock is attacking Jump City.I have always puzzled over the use of private brands. While Robin is chomping on a burger, an alarm goes off in his mouth. Beast Boy vouches for vegetables, but they just ignore him and continue to scarf down their meat. Raven tells him he's missing out, with Starfire about to comment on her love for meat before Cyborg interrupts her and yells at her to just keep eating meat.
Cyborg tries to tempt him with a hot dog, saying it looks like a carrot, but Beast Boy doesn't comply. Robin wonders why Beast Boy keeps eating vegetables, so he explains that he's a vegetarian and he eats them every day. Cyborg refuses, thinking he's crazy for even asking. Beast Boy joins the party and he tells Cyborg to grill up his plate of veggies. Starfire wants a "burger of the turkey", so Cyborg stuffs one in her mouth. That totals 11 for Robin! Raven asks for some sausage, to which he chucks one at her face, but she is still thankful. Robin asks for a steak, to which Cyborg tells him he's got steak for days and ends up giving him a whole plate. Beast Boy wonders what time it is, to which Cyborg responds "It's Meat Party Time!" Cyborg and the Titans go outside and Cyborg starts grilling up some meat. The episode starts out in the Titans Tower lobby once again. Robin is trying to fix one of his gadgets, Beast Boy is playing a game, Starfire is tickling Silkie, and Raven is reading as usual.
