Look at Toyo
I've used the brand Nankang for a while they are cheap and i find them really good for a budget tyre
I run 275/65r18 Toyo R/T just fine with no rubbing unless it’s at a awkward sharp turn on a steep hill
So I upgraded to new wheels and tires. I had the stock wheels and some el cheapo Chinese HiFly tires. Now I've got JR11 15 inch wheels and Toyo Proxes TR1 205/50. The car sticks to the road and is much quieter. I've much more confidence in the car and it's driving behavior is awesome right now.
If you don't care about money and want the fastest tire get the nankang crs v2s.
If I could find these tires again id buy them, i have them on a 09 impala and used them for more than two years and had better than normal wear, my summer tires last half these winter tires.
Late last year Toyo had a special running at my local Firestone store. My company told me how much I could spend. With the special I could afford tires I wouldn't have even looked at before. I tell you what. My little CX5 rode as good if not better than my Large Acura MDX. It's so smooth and quiet it threw me off the first long trip I took. I've had them for 5 months/25k miles and they feel as good now as they did when I bought them.
When I had BBS RCs I switched from 225/40/18 General Exclaim UHPs to 215/40/18 Nankang NS-II. Not the best tire (by a long shot), on the low end of decent I'd say, but they were cheap and available in the size I was looking for.
Those tires are death traps in snow and ice. No sipes, no studs, hard compound... You're going to be on hockey pucks.
Generally the folks I 4x4 with tend to avoid cheap small company tires like Radar, Atturo, and Nankang because some of em have had bad luck balancing them, even after spinning it on the rim. The quality control of the small companies isn't up to par with someone like Nitto or BFG so you get what you pay for.
