Buying name brand tires is one of the biggest scams. I buy cheap tires off ebay for my work truck and get 50k miles out of them. A name brand tire cost almost triple.

Not if you care about wet/dry grip and anti-aquaplaning characteristics. Both of these are objectively measurable metrics and inexpensive tires are almost universally significantly worse in these areas.
Long treadwear tires are cheap and easy to produce, long treadwear tires that also have high levels of grip are far more difficult and expensive to produce. Everyone has to balance cost vs safety and everyone will be different in that regard but high-quality tires are not a scam, they provide objective advantages over the cheap "no-name" brands.
