I normally buy gp5000 tires from Amazon, but I'm seeing limited selection and higher prices. AliExpress seems to have better selection for non tubeless , clincher tires and lower prices.
Does anyone buy tires there?
Are they legit?

i only bought a super hard to get tires.
i scored 2x 26" michelin wildrun'r 1.4 slicks some time ago, n theyre legit. 

if the tire line/model are known to be manufactured in CN or known for CN domestic market , high likely those are legit

I once tested those cheap Jinjer tyres and they were not bad to be honestly.
But it was dry, unsure what would happen in a race on wet surfaces :-)

they are totally legit, typing this as I am still alive up to this point LOL
with my Tan wall Continental Grandsport Race that never really had a puncture since September 2024 knock on wood

I run and have run for several seasons Conti Ultra Sport III and I see those some cheaper on Aliexpress.  They have been great for me. Just have never bought from Aliexpress.

Innova Pro 700x30 with 120tpi looked very nice:

ChaoYang H-496 also 120tpi is also very good, considered as a poor man GP5K:

Your second link is the same as the first one.

Do you know the difference between H-486 and H-496. How is the puncture resistance and rolling ?
Thanks

Do you get a free album copy with purchase of tyres or at least merch with Tatiana's signature? 

Sorry here's the ChaoYang H496 AE link:
In the product description also explained the difference between H486 and H496, mainly H496 is few grams lighter and sidewall pattern is different.
