If you are going to drive your car hard and enjoying it's power and handling ability, awesome braking etc, I would be going for a known and proven brand like bridgestone , michelin, toyo, etc. If you buy them when they are doing 4 for the price of 3 they are not that expensive. I have enough to worry about these days without wondering if my cheap tyres are going to cope with the unexpected pot hole half way round a very exciting series of sharp bends... I know even the good brands have factories in 3rd world countries but they still maintain a good reputation over many years so they must be doing something right. What ever happened to Kumho .. You don't hear much about them these days. They seemed to fade into obscurity when the big manufacturers forced the fed Gov into raising the duty on them so they were no longer half the price of the others. I had 2 sets on my Blue car many years ago. They were a nice tyre. I'm still loving the RE003s and PS4s ..
