I had very good luck with some Walmart bought tires. I put about 53,000 miles in them before I sold the truck and they handled all types of weather and road conditions. Highway, snow covered roads, occasional dirt roads and wet and never had an issue with them.
When I did transport work and needed tires, I had very good luck with some Walmart bought tires. All in I think I was around $700. I went with GT Radial Adventuro AT3 All Terrain in 275/65/18. I put about 53,000 miles in them before I sold the truck and they handled all types of weather and road conditions. Highway, snow covered roads, occasional dirt roads and wet and never had an issue with them. Road noise was slightly louder than stock tires but based on tread pattern, it was to be expected. I would definitely buy these tires again for my truck.
Recently bought some Rikens(Japanese tyre company that is now owned by Michelin and made in EU) for my wife's car and they are smooth AF.
Check out GT Radial or Giti.
They are mid ranged and so far ive been really impressed with them on mine. Good all rounders with grip and low rolling resistance.
I bought them last year for my Nissan and they have been really good. Very grippy, low noise and smooth. The compound feels to be on the softer side but haven't seen excessive wear yet.
Rikens are fine. They're quite a soft tyre, probably because like you said Michelin make them butbthat does meant the grip is decent.
I found GT Radial Champiro SX2 was pretty decent for around the same price as Kendas with similar performance and similar but not as much longevity.
I just bought these tires so I can't directly comment on them, but they were in my budget and the specs were about the best in the price range.
Gt radial is definitely a cheap option, but I would say they perform decently for the price.
I know GT radial tires are on the cheaper side. My GF got them last summer, in may. I checked them today and they are down to about 4/32mm. She basically drove 8 months with them, or 25k km, almost exclusively highway. Is that expected? I'm used to tires going for 50k km.
