Great day for a ride on the Zizzo.
OEM Freewheel failed after only 200 miles but I had this Drift Maniac 11-34t on hand and it is performing quite well.

I have enough life experience living in the West and East, Global North and Global South to know how much things cost. A resident of a country that makes many of your tires that are sold for outrageous prices in North America and Europe, I can tell your that that tire on the Bull, the tire that you are now defending (after chewing out Origami on another thread!) probably costs some $2-3 retail in the PRC.
You are like a spoiled rich kid with little sense who thinks that the outrageous prices that you endulge in are an indication of your savvy and worth. You lack perspective and knowledge beyond your spoiled First World bubble. You are understandably threatened. We get that.

Folks, I am outta here. The J!PE guy is too much. See ya...

Wherever a product is manufactured, there are other criteria to take into account.
Product differ in material used to manufacture them, complexity of design and complexity of manufacturing, time needed to design and manufacture them, method of manufacturing and environmental impact of manufacturing. And eventually, product performances, reliability and durability,
A 10 times more expensive product can at the end be more economical and more environmentally friendly than the cheaper one because it performs better, need less maintenance and last longer.

those look fine. For those who want to pay $100 to save 220 g (110g part tire), they are a fine option.
