Most people conclude that Grand Prix are the best mix of puncture resistance, weight, grip and speed to sort of be the industry standard.
Pros: best mix of features

I put Firestones on all my cars, I've been running the "Destination" line of tires for several years on multiple cars. Never had any weird issues with them at all. Id definitely recommend Firestones to put on any daily driver.
Pros: no weird issues
Cragar Soft 8's, BDS 2in BL and some big Toyo Open Country MTs.

Cooper makes some fantastic tires. I run the Zeon LTZ on my Ram, and the rain/snow performance is awesome.
Pros: awesome rain/snow performance
He immediately switched to the cooper's st Maxx tires. He has had this truck a 1 year maybe a year and a half and has already destroyed the 3 yr/36,000 mi basic, 5 yr/60,000 mi powertrain warranty. These tires went on when the truck was still pretty much new.
Pros: durable, near brand new
Vehicle:
Toyota
Compared to the Toyos, on the street, they are night and day difference! I can now accelerate and not have the rear end slipping or hopping around in the rain. Also, I find the tires to be a little bit quieter than the Toyo's.
Pros: better grip, quieter than Toyos
Cons: pick up and throw rocks
Mileage: 45000 km
Upgraded the tires late last year to Federal 595 RSR, they are $300 INSTALLED at a local shop, which is crazy cheap IMO. The car grips so well.
Pros: car grips well, crazy cheap
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 10000 km
On my XC hardtail I have a Maxxis 2.4 Ardent on the front, and a Maxxis 2.2 Ikon on the rear. It is a great combo so far.
Pros: great combo so far
I've had NS-II on my car for the past 4 years. For daily driving these tires will do just fine. Wet grip is alright and they're not terribly loud. They don't compare to Michelin Pilot Sport tires I ran before but they also don't cost anything close to Michelins.
Pros: fine for daily driving, alright wet grip, not terribly loud, inexpensive
Cons: not comparable to premium tires
I had a set on a 2008 F-250 work truck. Wore down quickly ~15K miles and unevenly. Felt like hard plastic chunks when cold, noisy, no off road traction. Had one blow out at about 60 mph and later on I had another tire get a tumbleweed puncture in the sidewall. They were trash. Swapped them out for a proper set of tires.
Cons: wore quickly, uneven wear, hard when cold, noisy, no off-road traction, blowouts, punctures
