Welcome new member!  

The answer depends on your budget and driving conditions (such as snow).

The Michelin Crossclimate2 is a good all-arounder for most conditions, but is a little pricey.  If you don't see a lot of foul weather, there are less expensive options.  Most tires from Michelin, General, Continental, Bridgestone, and BF Goodrich are good.  Some Goodyear and Firestone tires also are good.  I also have had good luck with Vredestein, though you usually have to order them from TireRack.

Look at TireRack.com. They have both customer and pro reviews that should give you the info you need, and they are much better than just googling "best tires for Altima" or something, which will mostly just get you AI-generated junk sites.

Good luck!

Tires vary greatly in what they are built for, much like shoes.

Are you wanting comfort, and great handling, great in wet, needed for winter, or long lasting?

The more detail you can give of what you need, the better the answer you will get.

Frankly, imo for every day driving any reputable brand will do. 
For tire rotation purposes, I would prefer a non-directional and/or symmetrical tire pattern (e.g. Michelin Premier A/S)- those give you max freedom when doing the regular tire rotation thus prolonging the tires life expectancy.
For road performance, on the contrary, as a rule of thumb directional asymmetrical tires are better. 
If you are picky try reading reviews (e.g. here: https://tirehungry.com/best-tires-for-nissan-altima/ ), but in my experience review results are often more about marketing than about real-life tire performance.
