Tires BRIDGESTONE or Uniroyal
Customers who went with Uniroyal rarely had anything negative to say. Anyway, as far as cheap tires go, Uniroyal are pretty good quality, have some trickle-down effects of tire technology from Michelin, and overall are a decent option if you need new tires but don't want to spend a lot of money.
I had the rainsport 3, very good tyre. The walls are a bit soft though.
From a consumer preference side, they are probably the only brand that has the same level of reputation as Michelin. Also, they are consistently the top performing tire supplier in the ultra competitive Super GT, often ahead of Michelin teams.
You can never go wrong with a bridgestone from my experience. Apollo and goodyear are also great.
I had Bridgestone Weatherpeaks on my Ascent. I also live in the Seattle area and I liked them a lot. Great grip in both wet and snow, no noticeable noise increase vs the stock Falken Ziex tires.
I got these tires for my telsa y when the price was $183 for 255/45 R19. Comfort and quietness is excellent. Efficiency did take a toll. Used to be 255wh/mile now its 285.
I've got Potenza Sport AS installed last November. No complaints so far. Good performance in PNW winter, quiet.
I've been running them year-round on my 2009 S2000 since new - on Vancouver Island. Total no go in snow, didn't ever even consider of going on the highway, but backed out onto the driveway once when there was a couple inches of snow so I could move some stuff around in the garage. Only a slight incline, but it was not pretty getting back in. That said, we get lots of rain and they've worked well as long as there aren't serious puddles.
Bridgestone tires suck, and you'll have to live with them for five years (if they last that long).
Based on the fact that my Bridgestone Alenza Sport tires are wearing out after only 9K miles, I would avoid Bridgestone like the plague.
