It depends on what you want/can pay for the tires.

For me good brand are Dunlop,Pirelli,Michelin for example.

Hi Leo,
me again

I think the brand must not be so important in your country. It depends on the conditions, you drive your vehicle. Do you have any trouble with ice and snow (I guess no)? What about the speedlimits (if you preserve them You know, that we don´t have any general speedlimits in germany? In this way a dreamland!)? What about rain and wet streets?
If you don´t drive too fast and furious, you can even choose cheaper brands. I drove Dunlop, Pirelli, Fulda and Hankook and some other different brands. The Hankook and the Fulda tires were difficult on wet streets. The Pirelli tires were very good, but very expensive, as I remember. But I sometimes liked to drive al little bit faster.


Beste Grüße
Tim

Hello again!!
I drive taking care of the baby but speed.....I like.
I guess weather is OK in general (a little rain might be taken into consideration), now streets are not in good condition so that should be considered LOTS OF HOLES
The only reason for the brand is because I can get a good deal on Sumitomos but don't know the result.
Other than that the only thing to consider is $$, but they are all expensive here,

Any particular rotation? How often?
Thanks

Thanks Mario.
I like this brands too. Obviously Michelins are $$$$, Pirellis $$$
Dunlop $$
If they are all pretty similar, I'd stay with Dunlops for the $.
The only ones left to consider are the Sumitomo (just because of the $)
Thanks a lot
Leo
