If you don't need run flats, get Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Rebadged Bridgestone tires that are stickier than most Michelin tires, and cheaper too
I also really like Winterforce tires. again far less expensive but great tread and can be studded if you want.
Good ride, above average dry traction, hasn’t rained, above average mountain handling, not as quiet as Michelin or Continental at highway speed, but I got to keep some money I’d have spent otherwise.
Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's seem to be the best budget performance tires.
Yokos are also a good choice and are good for more daily driving and highway driving and also last a long time
I like the Yoko Geolanders on my wife's Touareg that we use as dedicated snow tires. They are almost as quiet as the summer all seasons and are good enough in snow.
Yokohama Advan Sport A/S 245-45-19. Stock is 225-45-19. They fit well and the performance difference over stock is very noticeable (handles much better).
After looking into it a bit I went with a set of Firestone Indy500s that mounted and balanced came out to less than $800. Had them for 6 months now, and no complaints so far.
As far as Indycar goes, it is hard to find a more prestigious tire company than Firestone. They have been a good partner to the Series for a long time.
Not the same vehicle, but, on my truck (2wd, V8, manual), I installed Winterforce 2 tires, and while I haven't driven in any snow with them yet, on wet or dry pavement, they are horrible. Not much traction at all, even if I try to drive "carefully."
