@streakmachine My last three cars have had Michelins fitted by choice, they're supposed to last 20% longer than other brands in the same price/size range as well as being very quiet on the road.
My current vehicle has some cheap Chinese hoops called HiFly HF201. I researched as much as I could about them & it turns out they last almost as well as Michelins, have good all-road condition grip and are reasonably silent. And the things are amongst the cheapest available.
Price has never been a consideration of mine when buying tyres. Just buy the best you can afford. I'd prefer Michelins but these hoops have plenty of tread on them (I've done 11,000 km on them) so there's no reason to change them.
