Any experience with Aoteli brand tires?

More specifically the P307 model.
Lots of these tires seem to be imported by the big tire warehouses in the GTA area, but can't find much info on them as far as reviews are concerned.
The sales staff usually sounds very enthusiastic about these, but of course they will say anything to make a sale.

I know what most of you guys are thinking, but I have learned that not everyting from China is a crappy product and sometimes you can get good quality items from there, if you do your research..
I'm trying to keep an open mind here.
Part of my reasoning to even consider these tires is the fact, that the market is currently pretty much cornered by all the major name brands....so even if this tire's quality was comparable or better then the big guys, in order to break into the market, they would pretty much have no choice but to heavily discount them, because nobody would buy them at the price point comparable to the big brand names.
So in theory, these tires could be just as good (or maybe even better) giving you a great bang for the buck.
Basically I would like an opinion from someone who has purchased them...thank you in advance.

China has good and bad products, depends on how much you're willing to pay for course. But people are skeptical. I have no experience with this product is that I would recommend or not. Try it, maybe you will not regret it.

For something that you would be using for years, is the savings of 100-200 really worth buying no name?

If I can't get any opinions from real people, then probably not...but I'm still hoping, that someone out there has a pair... :)

Haven't heard of that name before but I was in a similar situation as you about six months ago. Bought some no name chinese tires and so far other than normal driving I've done a 5k road trip which included mountains and all is good.

I wouldn't hesitate to get them. All I use now is cheap chinese tires and even use them on the track due to wearing them out so quick.

It's funny that something like tires people have no problem buying some unknown brand without much reviews or data to save a few bucks...but then insist on plush name brand toilet paper. No name and cheap toilet paper should be fine also right?

The fact that different tires make a vast difference particularly in things like wet braking etc. But there is a camp on here that believe just slap any set on they are all pretty much the same. You won't convince them otherwise. If that's how you look at it, slap a set on and happy motoring! Who knows, given zero data on this brand and model they could be great.

Considering the low quality of pretty much anything from China and the corners that they cut to keep their products cheap I can't think of any reason why I'd want to risk buying these.

No idea how well they perform, but if they're anything like the Rovelo, Weathermate, Sailun, and other Chinese tires we've had popping up in the last few years, they'll be ok at best.

You shouldn't put a price on your safety, think about the time when you need your tires to preform and they don't, you're gonna be screwed. I recommend you re-evaluate the tires you wanna get.

"Horn-like silent grooves on main ribs - same groove void ratio at any tire cross section for smooth air flow to effectively reduce pattern noise. it connects the grooves as silencer."

With a description like that, how could you go wrong on a product crucial to your safety?

Actually it's quite easy to argue with that.
As others have said: Not everything from China is crap. But many are. And tires are a safety issue. And no one has heard of this brand.
There's your argument.

Not really here to pick arguments, but one could easily counter with the fact, that once upon a time nobody has heard of Honda either. Many big renowned Japanese manufacturers used to be viewed with about the same level of suspicion, as the Chinese ones are today.
In other words, just because you never heard anything about a certain product, doesn't necessarily mean that the product is bad.
That's not to say it has to be good, but it could just mean that it's simply new to the market.
I was hoping to get reviews from real people and so far it looks like nobody has heard of them.....still this doesn't automatically translate into those tires being a bad product.
To me it just means, that I have nothing to go on, therefore I will most likely look elsewhere.
Personally, I value real reviews from real people above any claims from the company website or the salesman's mouth.

I understand what you're saying. I agree to an extent.
However I wouldn't buy an unknown brand of tires that no one has any experience. And I would never bother even reading a company website. I go to independent review sites.

The point is that if no one had ever used them nor heard of them then is it a safe choice? It might be but do you want to chance it.

My first car was a 1976 Corolla. Everyone thought Japanese cars were cheap crap. I was very happy with it at the time. So I know that all companies (including very good ones) have to start somewhere.

I never said these tires were crap. I only said that there is no way to know if they are good. Do you want to be the test case?
You decide.
