I'd say the Firestone Destination LE3s are your best bet if they make them in your tire size. They're typically warrantied for 60k miles. They're really decent tires.
I have them on my '17 Bolt. They are definitely quieter than the previous tires. They seem to be holding up well, and I love hearing the tires chirp for traction when flogging it a 30 MPH!
Sailun tires are pretty good in general for being off brand. My Jetta had them when I bought it — I put about 45k miles on them before they wore out. And during that time I hit a pothole hard enough to bend the wheel — but the tire survived.
I was skeptical at first because they were so cheap. But after I did a cross-Canada trip on them I was so impressed by them. They survived nasty potholes. I didn't notice any range loss. Very quiet as well. The grip in wet conditions were far better.
They are very grippy on dry (I'm using 205/45/17), steering response is fantastic, very direct. On wet they seem fine, though I'm driving very cautiously on wet.
You can get new Sailun tires for less than $115each from Big O Tires. They are good tires for the money, basically designed to do exactly what you need. New safe tires that fit a tight budget.
Had the LE3s for 4 years on my escalade driving up and down the mountains and road tripping western US. A great tire, I took it through highway, pothole city, rain, snow, ice and even sand.
That being said my experience says that the Sailun are a better choice. I have had less comebacks with this brand.
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.
Not happy, 25,000 km and two are separated, would definitely not recommend
