Nothing is cheap anymore. Relative to the premium brands, Nittos are Still cheap(er).

I never skimp on tyres. It's the same as buying a cheap helmet.

not sure what the aussie aftermarket looks like, but 90% of what you get in an RTR can easily be added on later for cheaper, the other 10% is the RTR badge and Vaughns signature

Thanks for the reply.
I had the same impression checking some aftermarket parts in the past couple of days.
I will start installing Ford Performance lowering springs, and then I’ll see what’s around.

I dont even have a car yet...
Just something that keeps popping up as im browsing.....
Atturo AZ850 keeps popping up.....
Obviously a chinesium....
Ai states, US, Thailand, Taiwan, etc...
Its dirt cheap & keep seeing threads on reddit, & comments on a ton of posts on various IG & tik tok influencer pages where random people are commenting how great these tires are & they will never buy a more costly tire again....
I get it, its all perception, but these are fake posts where Atturo is fabricating their own hype on social media, these are guys with many videos of their toy...

Cant imagine, considering how cheap they are.

Anyone actually have or are running them?

These "reviewers" are getting paid to prop up those tires. I've never heard of real-world experiences of chinesium tires doing well compared to good name-brand tires. I'd be tempted to look at Tire Rack's rankings if they've tested any of them...

I love Atturo tires. When you see a vehicle for sale with them, you know it's a good sign to just walk away!
