Tires YOKOHAMA or Kumho
I've switched to Yokohama and they are just as quiet as a michelin, it's worth looking into
I got Yokohama Avids at 102k, now the van is at 130k and they still look brand new so I highly recommend Yokohamas.
V730 are perfect. The wear like iron, are very predictable and most important for a track day tire- don’t have heat cycling issues.
I went with the Yokohama Avid Ascend GTs. Very similar tire just higher quality than the stock. Replaced my stock Avid GTs at 46k. Up to 58k now and I can say I like them.
You can’t go wrong with Falken RT660s though Yokohama A052s are a hair faster.
I have my second set of Yokohama Geolanders GO15s on my '14. The first set had inconsistent tire wear because I let them go without rotation a little too long. I replaced them at 50k. If they had worn evenly I feel I could have gotten the full 65k out of them.
The road noise and mileage are just as good as the Continentals that came stock on mine. I have that little extra grip on the gravel and dirt back roads.
I’ve had good luck with “value” level Kumhos and Generals. Currently I drive a used BMW with over 300hp that came with budget Kumhos. They were brand new so I kept them. When they wore out I replaced them with expensive Continentals. I absolutely noticed the difference in quality
Factory tyres wore through quickly within around 3 years, but the larger yokohamas I fitted then have barely lost 1mm of tread.
I only buy continentals. I'd advise you do the same. I've had kumhos before but they were meh.
BEWARE: Failed Yokohama Stock Tire. Ive seen other posts about similar blowouts from primes but didn't pay too much attention since I planned on eventually switching wheels anyways. but this just happened driving 70 on the freeway. They are the stock Yokohama's that came with my 22 Prime.
