I'm going to insert my thoughts here.

Flooring? Unless it's wood or tiles the rest of the options available are just floof.

Source: I have a good friend working at a construction materials depot. They stock a wide variety of flooring, from different manufacturer, and the materials only differ in finish not build. The materials are even supplied in bulk, not by category, and the end seller prices it has they see fit. An "oak finish" floor may be double or triple of what a standard "pine" or "spruce" costs.

I drive daily for professional reasons and the company I work for uses a fleet management service to maintain the vehicles. I've seen tyre brands being fitted that I was advised against for my personal vehicle at the store I usually bought tyres. The cheaper tyres last as long and in a few occasions longer than so called first line brands. This isn't to say there are no poor quality tyres but the main manufacturers are not that much better from the rest of the pack as they used too.
