What is a common buying mistake?
Buying from headline capacity alone without checking tire-size fit, the actual working rating and vehicle compatibility.
When is a premium option worth it?
When it materially improves traction, durability, safety, reliability or long-term serviceability.
What should I verify before ordering?

Why are there five recommendations?
