This so much - dont buy Chinese! Partner’s car had Chinese branded tires on it when we got it, they were actually dangerous, so little grip. Friend of mine runs a tire shop, he says that when he has customers of Chinese origin they often dont buy the Chinese brand tires because they know they dont meet Western standards.
China make plenty of good tires and I would put money on it that they actually manufacture tires for a lot more “western” brands than you would expect.

Also, definitely dont buy cheap Chinese tires if you are intending to invade Ukraine
