why would you want to get shafted with tires and other performance parts, such as brakes, when you can ask around from other's experience to avoid headache and wasting hard earned money

From personal experience they are loud, the flat spot over night, and they'll be done in 10-15k miles. I agree with smoked, it's a difference of $300 between these and a decent set of tires. You don't need Michelin pilot super sports, but at least step up to a Kumho or Hankook. This reminds me of the guy who has liability insurance only on his 40k car to save a few hundred bucks. In the long run it'll cost you more as they'll need to be replaced sooner and for the limited time you do have them, they'll more than likely be crap.
Most people here have tickets, accident's, have bad driving habits, are paranoid, need a safety blanket, have no real savings, have debt, but I'm not one of those people.
I did spend about $1k on new Perelli's after I bought my car used for $28k. Totally worth the money.

I've owned inexpensive tires and gotten good service out of them but I always buy from a local, non-franchised store that has been in business for nearly 40 years. If the folks there tell me they are a good tire, I'll run them. They don't sell stuff that will get someone hurt.
Now, there is a difference between cheap tires and inexpensive tires.
On my motorbikes I always want a good tire because with only two, you really need to be sure.

I've saved money by going khumo, hankook, falken in the past. On my BMW I went with bfgoodrich comp2a a/s.
I wouldn't go any cheaper than those brands.
For the family SUV I don't skimp and go with Michilins.

Chinese tires
There are a lot of "generic" tires under various names coming from China, Indonesia, Etc. Some of them may very well be substandard and even dangerous. But don't assume they all are. Some of these brands have been coming to the States, Australia in other markets for decades and have earned a very decent reputation. I own a car dealership and so buy a lot of tires. One Asian brand that I like and that I have seen in independent tests rate well against Michelin, Bridgestone and so on are Champiro GTs. I run them on my personal cars and have for many years. May not be quite as cheap as these Lexani Lionhart things but I can tell you that they are very nice tires and priced 30-40% underneath premium brands that they compare well against in professional reviews. They are available from a number of major sellers often like Discount Tire Direct, Simple Tire, and others. Find your size on eBay and get free shipping as well.
