If possible take those Chinese brand that they have owned factory instead of OEM factory.

OEM tyre factory can put any brand as long as you willing to order few containers tyre. They can print the brand name on tyre sidewall Dalexand Tyre, Lowyat Tyre, Jibby Tyre and all kind of funny brand name.

These following brands are reputable and reliable. Zhongce Rubber, Sailun group, Cheng Shin Tires, Ling Long and Giti.

The OEM factory R&D is very simple. They just copy the bunga from reputable brand but what they did not capable to copy is the "material". The material play very important role such as high performance silica which can achieve low rolling resistent for fuel saving meanwhile improve wet condition performance.
