I'd say the Firestone Destination LE3s are your best bet if they make them in your tire size. They're typically warrantied for 60k miles. They're really decent tires.
Pros: really decent tires

I have a vendetta against Firestone since they exploded on my Explorer and nearly wrecked me, only had like 10k miles.
Cons: exploded, nearly wrecked me
Vehicle:
Ford Explorer
Mileage: 10000 km
It's wild to me that Firestone has been so invisible and irrelevant in the consumer market ever since the Ford Explorer fiasco, yet still so active in Indycar.
Cons: invisible, irrelevant in market
Vehicle:
Ford Explorer
Firestone sucked for the majority of the season. Not only have their hard/soft offerings missed the mark, but they are now completely willing to show up with indestructible tires which are totally unsuitable for modern competition.
Pros: ultra durable tires
Cons: missed the mark
I don't see any tire alternative that is a better choice than Firestone. They aren't perfect, but they are usually very good and don't have a lot of catastrophic failures.
Pros: usually very good
Cons: aren't perfect
Had the LE3s for 4 years on my escalade driving up and down the mountains and road tripping western US. A great tire, I took it through highway, pothole city, rain, snow, ice and even sand.
Pros: great tire, good performance
The Firestone FT140 are annoyingly loud.
Cons: annoyingly loud
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
I currently have Firestone LE3's on my 14 Explorer. They have a little over 26k miles on them. 255/50/20's for $930 mounted/balanced back in 2021. Overall pretty good tires, especially for the money. Smooth, good traction in the dry/wet and pretty good in the snow. They did seem to get louder fairly quickly, but I don't think they've really gotten any worse over the last 15k miles. Wet roads seem to exacerbate the noise. Last time I looked at them (few k miles ago), they were wearing really well. I can't say I'd buy them again yet, but if they get us another 26k miles without getting significantly louder, they (or their successor) would be on the list. In the past I had OE Hankooks (good dry/wet, excellent life, absolutely terrible in the snow) and Michelin Premier LTX (good in all conditions, short life, overpriced for what they were).
Pros: smooth, good traction, good in snow, wearing well
Cons: got louder quickly
Vehicle:
Ford Explorer
Mileage: 26000 km
Firestone has Suredrive tires that are basically rebranded Kuhmo Solaris TA71s right in your range. Good reviews on Reddit. I just bought a set today. Seem quiet.
Pros: Seem quiet
The OEM Bridgestone tires were terrible....The Firestones have been great.
Pros: great tires
Cons: terrible tires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
