Some tires are made in China and some possibly(?) better ones are made Vietnam, while made in Korea tires usually aren't bad, but may not last as long as expensive tires. For safety, I wouldn't go too cheap on tires. Many cheap tires have rather poor traction when new and become unsafe with only a few miles of wear on them. The Chinese tires often are made of very hard rubber, which might wear well, but has poor traction. There may be some in between tires made in the Philippines, but I'd avoid them. Kumho is a Korean tire company with majority Chinese ownership by a Chinese tire company. They make Phantom tires, likely in China, but even in Korea, they would be the low end. Hankook tires are "better" Korean tires. Not the best, but seem safer. I'd check tire reviews on the Internet.
Pros: may wear well (hard rubber)
Cons: poor traction, not safe, avoid cheap
They’re good for me since my car has camber and will just destroy the tires anyways
Pros: good for camber wear
Grip will be more than fine. Nice soft compound. Performance will be lovely. At first. They will not last. Structural failures before tread is used up, are common. But new is better than old, so if that's what you can afford, go for it.
Pros: nice soft compound, good initial performance
Cons: will not last, structural failures
By the results of their other tires, they seem pretty bad from my experience they are a tier above bottom of the barrel chinese tires
Cons: seem pretty bad, bottom of the barrel
Vehicle:
BMW
They're Chinese junk. They sorta work, but have 20% less traction and 50% less lifetime.
Pros: sorta work
Cons: less traction, less lifetime
После лятото тоя корморан го изхвърли и си купи хубави летни гуми, че си опасен на пътя.
Cons: опасни на пътя
