I realized something regarding the tires on our cars: The highest treadwear currently in our fleet is 240, and that includes my wife's daily.

Hankook Optimo H724 on the XJ. Quiet and good rain performance and good fuel economy. Would recommend.

Nankang NS25 on the E36/5. Car's been broken for most of the time I've had them. Can chirp a little on a hard shift. Hopefully wear better than the Federal SS595.

Falken RT615K on the W116. Those tires are from 2016 and have 1 hour of racing on them before blowing the engine. We quite liked the original RT615K but those are way aged out by now.

Some low rolling resistance Bridgestone on the Volt.

Firestone AT2s on the z71.

Goodyear Supercar3s on the 1LE. Can't decide if I want to lean street tire with some Mich Pilot sports or lean track tire and stick with the SC3s for replacements

Conti ECS at the wear bars on the Volvo.

 

Not so good in the rain, but on my way home from Panthera (rallycross!!) a couple weekends ago, I found myself on a very hilly, windy, freshly paved, completely untrafficed road in Maryland.  It was almost a touge run.  Speed limit was 40 and that was more of a goal than a limit through most spots.

Good tires...

Wife's daily Mazda five, Continental DWS06. Good tires for a daily.
 

The Lancer Ralliart wagon has it's second set of the budget summer tires, Firestone Firehawks. Cheap tires, not bad for the price, got me some autocross wins last fall and (due to cold, wet weather) a lucky second place in H Street at the state championship. Very good tires in the wet.
 

My new daily, an 08 civic coupe 1.8/5 speed, came with a set of new Malaysian tires of some sort. Okay on dry pavement, terrible if there's any moisture on the pavement.

For the civic, I bought a used set of Yokohama A052 with a 2018 date, but with almost no street miles, just some autocross events, mounted on some Enkie wheels.

Planning to autocross and track on those. Yesterday I got a set of Bridgestone RE71r tires (the discontinued ones) in a trade from Stampie. They have a 2020 build date and appear to be almost unused. I plan to daily them, get rid of the cheap tires that are on it. 
 

My E Street Miata just got a new set of BF Goodrich rival 1.5s when I gave up on receiving the new RE71rs tires I ordered. I'll run the rivals while it's hot here, then switch to the Bridgestones when the weather changes. 
 

The GMT400 has a set of Generals. They're nine years old, have served well. Not getting replaced, going to buy another truck or suburban. 
 

The Morris doesn't need tires, except for setting the car on the tire dollies. frown

BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2 on the daily truck

BF Goodrich Mud terrain KM3 on the 4x4 Yota

Michellin Latitude on wife's car. 

I'm not much on brand loyalty but I'll overthink a tire purchase if I have any options to a fault.
