Get whatever is a good deal on Blackcircles or similar for name brand tyres, I like the sort of Avon/Yokohama/Kumho end of the market, find something with good wet grip and noise ratings.
Got 4 new Bridgestone two years ago for about $500
With balance. Free tire rotations and patch job. Don’t buy junk. They are rated for 50-60K. Driven maybe 30k have 5 mm tread depth left even mostly city driving.
I have Kumho Crugen on my 4runner. But I am very happy with these tires. No road noise at all.
RS11's are amazing tires, used them before going to slicks. For road use the don't last that long though.
There's also the Bridgestone WeatherPeak, which is priced like the Michelin CrossClimate, but it seems like it has better snow and ice traction.
I like Bridgestone Potenza RE003. Great dry grip and excellent wet grip.
RE71r - on all four corners of my S6. Really sticky and ride well.
After a massive blowout on 422 here in PA a few months back, and having HUGE bubbles in the sidewalls of two other tires and a large gash (no idea where this came from) of the spare that went on, I replaced all four with a set of Bridgestone RE980 AS+'s. What a difference in the way the car rides and grips. You can feel the Bridgestone's handle the bumps SO much better than the stock Conti's and there's much more grip.
I replaced my Proxes with Kumho Ecsta PA51. They feel more comfy, but feel like they have a bit more road noise.
That model Bridgestone tires is terrible in winter. Traction goes away below 45°. Wet weather is a challenge to say the least. I took them off and put on continental DWS tires at 10,000 miles.
