What’s this classic argument
“ I hope I never meet you on the road “

Utter utter poppycock! The chances are that you do meet people all the time driving cheap but excellent tyres

Just because people deem spending a lot on tyres correlates directly to the quality over cheaper tyres , does not mean it’s true

No not 100% of the time but most people who are willing to pay the price for a decent tyre have done their research and followed tyre reviews before they have purchased.

Well, I won't risk the lives of me and my passengers on cheap Chinese knock off tyres to save a few bucks.

Do you know the opposite is also true?

I do, that was my point , irony and sarcasm intertwining at the extreme pivotal point of logic

There's no point in arguing with someone over cheap Chinese tyres. Leave them to it and just hope you don't get rear ended by them.

If people want to be cheap then that's their choice.

Nothing to do with being cheap. I spend accordingly, if something is worth paying extra for I’ll happily do so

For the case of tyres, no. Plenty of excellent budget tyres going these days

Ridiculous argument about people crashing into you due to tyres! How many times has that actually happened to you?

It's not really an argument. I didn't say every car with cheap tyres is guaranteed to rear end someone.

If it has nothing to do with being cheap then people wouldn't actively be seeking out super cheap tyres when it's well known that quality tyres at a reasonable price are safer with better grip and better stopping distances.

I know a few people in work on Chinese tyres and it's exactly because they don't want to spend €200 for a set. A friend of mine has cheap tyres for the same reasons. €60-70 is better than €100 and that's all they care about.

I'll happily pay €100+ per tyre because I know what cheap tyres are like.

Pay an amount according to how you value your life. Buy Chinese tyres, Chinese helmets, chinese johnnies. Live life to the min. You only live once.
