I agree that if one tire is more reliable then it could be the better choice even
if it is more expensive. But why is one a "low quality" and the other a "high
quality" tire? Are you basing this statement on price or do you have actual
information that one is low quality and the other is high quality? Or is there
any difference in reliability or life?
In my world a low price Toyota has higher reliability and longer life than a high
price Jaguar or Maserati.
Another school of thought is to just replace the tire more often and for the same
total cost the less expensive tire will allow more frequent replacements and
maybe this will give more safety.

I bought Goodyear (next to top of line) for the mains, and Goodyear
(top of the line) for the nose wheel, thinking that the nose wheel
would be the most catastrophic failure if you factor in a possible
prop strike requiring an engine teardown. Not to mention loss of
steering. If you want to cheap it out go with McRearys for the mains
and the best tire you can buy for the nose wheel.

I base my comments on the use of Goodyear tires and Airtracs on my airplane.
Besides, Goodyear let me fly their blimp.
