China also produces a quality product. There is a lot of science and scrutiny which goes into tire so that they are reliable and this is what you pay for once you buy branded tires. Anyway, most tires manufacturers exactly knows what it takes to make a quality tire but what makes a difference are the registered experiments performed on those tires and maintaining a check that they produce every tire of same quality. Which is not a case with many Chinies and Indonesian manufacturers as they may sell you a bad tire just in order to get rid of their stock, they may not care about little bad reputation like big names in market who would destroy the faulty product instantly. If you are lucky then you may end up buying a good item from them but if unlucky then product can even land you into trouble.
6 months back, I bought Baleagio tires for Rs 5000 each thinking that it maybe another branded tire which I may not be aware of. I was unable to find any trace of that tire on internet but later I found out that some Pakistani is getting that tire manufacturer from Indonesia and selling it in Pakistan. It had a very good profile as compared to what was offered in the price range. Anyway ended up buying it because of my ignorance and luckily they are doing exceptionally well till now. Anyway would not have gambled on this, had I known this before and secondly these products gives a very good profit margin to the middle men where dealers tries to sell it in a same price range as branded ones. If you intend to buy one then negotiate the price otherwise it?s not worth the try.
