Probably because they're sh**te.

Adam, just how many times can you come on here asking about chuffin' tyres.

Tyres are the only point of contact you have with the road, buy sh**te and end up in A&E or worse, they're not called ditch finders for nothing.

Well said, you could not put it any better. If he wants to buy them go and buy them, but don't expect to convince people they are ok or there are better ones of a bad bunch because someone told you they think they are good or they fit them to their BMW M3 etc. I have seen people ruin high performance cars with crap tyres or do track days and they disintegrate badly.

I'd not even heard of them - and haven't expressed an opinion.

They haven't even been mentioned on this topic! Do you mean elsewhere on here or one the internet generally.

If the latter they seem to attract widely varying opinions if this is typical: https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre/Landsail/LS288.htm

Last one I have seen online is a brand called Ling Long.

Sponsors of Juventus football club.

Is extra load better for tyres or not really to an extent

I've always had the opinion that all cheap tyres, whether chinese or not, are overpriced ditchfinders.

The lack of feedback from users on here shows how few, if any, QQ owners are going for them. That must speak volumes.

I'd say value your life, the life of others and your no claims discount and find a way to buy reputable tyres.

I'd also say you're unlikely to get any specific feedback on a particular cheap end tyre on here whether they are yingyangs, ramalangadingdongs or yokoonos.

Another point to keep in mind, if you resell your car with these these shi*e tyres on (which you are inevitably going to buy judging by your posts, going against the recommendations of every member who are experienced and knowledgeable drivers don't forget), any sensible buyer will walk away from your car. (I would anyway)

It reflects your poor attitude to car maintenance.

If you can't afford to buy decent tyres, the chances are you have skrimpt on other necessary maintenance/servicing.
