What are some good tire recommendations for budget friendly (sub $600 for all 4) all season and winter tires that don't sacrifice performance, last many years, aren't excessively loud or uncomfortable?
Of course a cheaper tire has to sacrifice one of these but I'm lookin for something that's decent.
Thanks!
i like Hankook
Same same.
I had great experience with Falken tires, although it's a Korean brand they seem decent (I had 2 on a Hyundai and all 4 on an old Corolla - both served me for years without any issues).
Falken (Ziex ZE950 A/S for example) is usually very cheap (sub $400 depending on your tire size), and I think you can still go cheaper...
Kelly Edge tires are decent budget tires if they make a set to fit your car. I had a set on my HHR, and am currently using a set of their All-Terrains on my 1999 Ranger. They're bottom shelf Goodyear tires and they are made in the USA, not East Asia. They seem to be a good, all-around tire without breaking the bank.
I'm looking at General Altimax RT43. Supposedly good all around, with above average snow/ice traction.
Be sure to order the correct "speed rating" for your vehicle.
General Altimax RT43 is a real nice mid-price tire, have been running them for years.
For tighter budgets Wal-Mart "Douglas" tires are manufactured by Goodyear and are very good for the money. Unlike a lot of other budget tires they are NOT made in China.
