(2009 R1) Used S22's in heavy rain and roasting hot on track then used them to commute the following day. Worked perfectly fine in all conditions.
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).
I suggest getting the same stock tires- Thats what I do for my car 3x na sya pinalitan and same din Bridgestone - coz its what it came with and sabi nmn nila better braking and performance - and again yung yung OOB nya, natawid ng lampas gutter na baha and mabato na kalsada ng probinsya, natuyong ilog - malubak na city road.
I actually have used both the weatherpeak and cross climate 2 tires, the cliff notes are, the bridgestones are quieter and have no fuel economy penalty, they also handle better
For SUV, I prefer Bridgestone Dueler, good quality tires for offroading and highway use.
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.
Now I’m using Bridgestone Dueler HT 840 which is also great and comfortable and more sturdy than the Khumo.
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.
I had blizzaks for a few seasons after a set of very good dunlops. I was severely dissatisfied in the e blizzak performance. Not only did they wear quickly but they were awful in the snow and dry. We have X-ices on the Tiguan and they are far superior to the blizzaks.
I have a ‘99 Fireblade with a 16” front wheel rather than the 17” which is normal now. It is more likely to shake its head when going over a bump, banked over at high speed. It is also difficult or impossible to recover from a front wheel slide which would be recoverable on other bikes.
