I fitted four Goodride SA-57 tyres for around the same cost as ONE Conti.... The SA-57 works darn well too - driven nearly 10,000 miles on them and am very happy. They look to be an unashamed copy of the Bridgestone Potenza S03.. SA-57...  Potenza S03...

Its all about marketing, just ask Bose :P I have run non big name tires on almost everything I have ever owned 30+yrs... never had a problem. One of the tires that I have loved the most and actually have currently on my Z4 and M3, are the Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 I have Nokian snows on the E53, but for summer have been running Nitto, but had to replace this spring, Nitto no longer makes that tire in an 18, 20s and up  I was all over the map looking at a decent tire, settled on some General UHPs, so far so good. I even looked at some of the newer asian tire brands, just the size was limited for the 18s again

I have a set of V12 Evo2s on my Mazda family wagon and I can't speak highly enough of them. I had some original V12 Evos on an older car as well. They are quiet, sticky, reasonably priced, and for such a sticky tire they last 35k+ miles which is great. I am actually hoping to autocross my Mazda in the next year or two with them.
But I would say Hankook is a "big name tire" now, they are definitely one of the big guys in the industry. The cheap chinese knock-off brands are where I hesitate. Some of them are fine but some of them are garbage.

when I started buying the Evos they were the no name brand :P I think they were like $100 each too
Kumo/Nitto I have been around a long time on the road race cars so no worries there. Some of these "no name" brands are very big time in other countries, its just we dont see them over here.

Yeah, I think I paid about $400 for the first set I bought, but I paid almost $700 for the second set (admittedly the second set was 19").
Still a good deal over the Bridgestones or Pirellis though.
