Yes, they are a good deal. While there quality my be debatable, whatever there performance is, good bad or indifferent, personally I just have a hard time supporting Chinese companies and the Chinese Communist economy as a result.

It is difficult not to do, particularly with electronics. I'm not even a fan of things made in China, but by companies from other countries, but at least those company profits are not going back to the Chinese economy as well.

I don't think I could even bring myself to purchase a new Volvo these days, because again, the profits go back to the Chinese Communist government..

Lexani tires are made in INDONESIA

Volvo cars have Chinese parts to save costs and increase profits

Where it is actually made is irrelevant to the conversation, its the home country of the Company I am speaking to. Lexani is actually a child brand of Nexxan a South Korean company. So that is my mistake (an initial search appeared it was a Chinese company)..

So do BMW, Mercedes and just about every car manufacturer on the planet. But BMW is not OWNED by a Chinese parent company, so their profits don't go back into the Chinese Economy. Volvo, on the other hand, is owned by a Chinese company these days. That's the difference I'm speaking of..

Anyway, I apologize to the OP for taking this off topic..
