Option 1 are tires from Sunny which is a low cost tire from China. They are $81, each so very budget friendly.

Option 2 is the Hancook Ventus which is at $139 per tire. ($58 more per tire) This is the tire I currently am using on my stock wheels and I have been happy with them.

I am leaning towards the more expensive ones, but still that price on the Sunnys is pretty damn tempting.
Funny you should ask about Sunny's I have a set of them on my car and they have been on there for 2 years they still have decent tread they handle the corners very well they dont flex much, though I am running 225/40/18
I moved from North Dakota they drove 2000 miles no problems.
I think they have a bit of noise issue on the road though. Nothing that is a problem just a hum sometimes.
