Ali Express for tyres ?

[marshalllucky]

About to purchase a pair of Challenge Strada Pro clincher tyres , which I've used on a couple of builds and found to be great tyres.
Prices on these have rocketed ( previously bought from winstanleys )and now seem to be about £58 each but available on Ali Express for under £24 .
Anyone bought tyres from them , are they legit as I presume they are made in the China anyway?.
Any thoughts or experiences of Ali Express , I know I'm not helping the UK bike shops but you can't ignore such massive savings when we seem to pay over the odds for everything in the UK.

Challenge manufacture base is in Thailand as far as I know.

As a rule if its more than 20% cheaper, it's not the same product.
Or there's a tax-dodge going on.

Plenty of fakes out there.

You can ask the manufacturer or official importer if they are genuine.
