Default Linglong tires Yay or Nay

I've been searching for 20" tires and found some Linglongs really cheap. I've never heard of them. Has anyone tried these tires.

I saw some ling longs on a car at a car show not too long ago. It was a caprice with 26 inch wheels. What a peice! The guy was braggin about how much his rims and tires cost. Thats how i remember- I took one look and couldnt stop laughing. Stay away from cheep tires and remember. Your tire is the only thing holding you on the road. Major safety issue here. Dont skimp man your car is too nice,and your life is priceless.

Two things that I avoid:

1. Food processed in China.
2. Tires made in China.
