We regularly cut apart, Hi Fly's, Evergreens, Jinyu and so on to see how they are constructed. And some of the results are shocking! Will get of soap box 📦 now! Apologies for crashing your tread.😎

On the contrary. I'd like to see this information and knowledge, and even presented in a demistified form.
I can't recall the tyre make, now. But I drove a car some years back on relatively fresh Chinese budget tyres. It was remarkably bad, and goes some way to explain how people get themselves into bother.

My brother is one of those people who believes he's gods gift to driving, and he hasn't a clue when he's approaching the limit of adhesion. Mostly, though, he's saved by road congestion and good rubber.
The tyres on the above mentioned vehicle (which was a quattro model) started to feel vague at some fairly low speeds, and in the wet were just lethal. How they managed to get approved for sale is beyond me.
