I wouldn't touch Chinese tyres with someone else's barge pole.
My mk2 golf came with hifly tyres and that would squeal its head off at 15mph going around a roundabout and was just scary in the wet! I fitted some Bridgestones and my love affair with Bridgestone tyres began from there.
I had jinyu on the 940 when I bought that and they were also terrifying with the lack of grip and the road holding in the wet was just dangerous so I got Bridgestones fitted less than a week after buying it.
A 940 drift car I bought to break had middle of the road tyres on the front and Chinese tyres on the back... That says it all really.
I also had Westlake on my fabia VRS when I bought it and they would aquaplane so easily and had rubbish grip again Bridgestones fitted and it was transformed.
It amazes me how many bloated expensive VAG cars have Chinese tyres on them... Probably because people pay a lot of money to impress people they don't know and can't afford the maintenance or the cost of an 18" tyre in a decent brand.
