Tires Cooper or Laufenn
Since I can't get Michelins in the sizes I run anymore, I've switched to Laufenn (by Hancook). It's German for "runner", they are inexpensive and initial performance is excellent.
Both my Corolla and gf's CRV sport Cooper CS5 Ultras now. Definitely better than what was on them before. Very noticeable on the winding mountain roads, combined about 80 miles per day.
I use laufen all season high performance and they have worked great
Cooper AT3's, 215/70-16 to fit an 04 FXT. Fantastic tires, even does great in the snow down to about 20F (or did when new, they're 50-60% worn now and pretty scary on ice, as are all AT tires).
I've got STT Pros on my 2500hd and KO2s on my TJ both of which were a daily driver for extended periods of time. The Cooper's are definitely louder, but the entire truck is loud, so it doesn't really bother me. The comments here ring pretty true, and I'll take my Jeep in the snow rather than the truck. Honestly, just do what makes you happy. The trade-offs are miniscule if you know your limitations and drive appropriately.
I had cooper evo tours on my E90 bmw, they were good tires, a little on the noisy side but otherwise fine, especially for the price I paid.
Get any reputable tire: Falken Sincera, Continental Control Contact, Yokohama AVID, Hankook Kinergy, Cooper Evolution, etc. Spend a total of $50 more, and your tires will run much safer, and for even longer.
They were good tires IMHO. No complaints, other than the road noise from them was loud on the freeway.
Just bought COOPER ENDEAVOR PLUS for $128.99 per tire from Tirerack. Have not really got a good test for them but going on a road trip this weekend with them. I got them to cut down road noise more than anything.
Cooper has had a consistent track record of balance/wear/behavior issues for all of us over the last couple of years.
