Historically, and I'm talking over 50 years, my degree of success with tires seems to by inversely proportional to the price I pay for them. In other words, I've had far better luck with cheap, off brand tires than with high dollar brand name ones.
I once paid big bucks for a set of high dollar, top of the line Firestone tires on an Olds 88. They shook, pounded, vibrated and were a disaster in spite of being balanced several times, rotated, etc. I even had a tire shop put them on a machine to true them up for roundness. Nothing made any difference.
As it happened, a friend of mine was Sales Manager for a farm seed company, and in his junk mail one day he got an ad for off brand, blemished tires for something like $16 each. I ordered a set and had them installed. The first time I took the car out on the road, it ran so smooth and quiet it was almost creepy. I've also had bad luck with a set of Michelins, and last winter I took a set of Pirellis off of our Lincoln MKX because they were unreasonably noisy.
Frankly, I'm the world's biggest cynic when it comes to tires. I buy what works for me, not what someone else says works for them.
