So Toyo tyres could be chinese, or malaysian produced soon.

Interesting. I've still to see any from anywhere other than Japan in the UK, so it's a case of watch this space.

I've used Kumho tyres, they seem good, they're a Korean company, but on "about us"

"Produces nearly 60 million tyres a year at its factories in Korea, China and Vietnam for cars, 4x4s, vans and trucks "

Don't think you can avoid chinese nowadays, they're working for everyone.

Has anyone used a company called tyre shopper?

Tyretraders.com are good..

A lot of these tyre brands now are part of the same parent company...

Maxxis for example which I have seen others rave about are part of the Cheng Shin group 10th or 11th biggest tyre manufacturer.... Then Cheng Shin branded stuff over here gets slated...... I had 4 New on a Astra van in 175/60/13 size for £30.50 bought at cost and fitted and balanced myself in work. Nothing wrong with them whatsoever in the 12k Miles I had the van...

If these are for 155/80/13, then Blackcircles are doing 4 x Toyo 350 for less than £150. I would call that good value. I certainly would not fit an unknown "budget" tyre from anyone.
