yes I agree. Cheap brakes and tyres are a quick way to an accident.
They are really popular here in Saudi Arabia - not Sunny brand but cheap tyres in general - names along the lines of Happy Bumblebee, Shiny Moon, Great Wall etc
I wouldn't stray far from Pirelli, Good Year, Bridgestone, Dunlop, Michelin etc... There are other good performance tyres as well like BFGoodrich but I haven't tried them.
