New tire brands

I am looking for new tires for the Fit. They are tiny - 175/65/14

Most places don’t really stock anything in this size, so I’ll have to order.

I am seeing a bunch of brands I never heard of. Are these Chinese junk, or good enough for a barely driven car?

Barum - Brillantis 2 ($43 ea)

Westlake - RP18 ($48 ea)

Arizonian - Silver Edition III ($59 ea)

Cheapest brand I’m aware of is Toyo Extensa A/S II for $63 ea, or Kumho Solus TA11 at $64 ea, or Cooper Evolution Tour at $65 ea. They also have Hankook Kinergy ST H735, Falken Sincera SN250 and Falken Pro Touring A/s, all under $70 ea.

Is there a good cheap AS tire that gets recommended on the low end, sort of how K02 is a default for off-road?
