Tests of Chinese tires?

Sure you can get good things from China, but they won't be cheap. The reason why China gets a bad bias isn't because of perception but based on reality. In the goal for making things cheaper they throw out any need for standards, quality and will straight up lie about products.

One of the things I read about Chinese tires. One company was making a brand name tire for another (Euro) company. Quality was good. The Chinese owner changed tire molds, because of a change from Europe. His uncle got hold of the old molds and started to make tires. Never changed anything on the molds. Sold the tires at a big discount. Marketed the tires as the Euro tires. And the quality was crap. Lawsuit happen, and not happen with the lawsuit. Chinese courts just buried it.

Kind of like how the Europeans tried but could not get their cars to get the mileage that Asian card were getting so they planted software to defeat SPA testing.
