Question Tire recommendations?

The previous owner of my CVLX put 3 different brands of tires on it. Two I have never heard of. Besides the mismatching, they are also all looking old and low on tread. So I need some recommendations for some decent tires that aren't too expensive.

Looking for name brand, reliable, fairly inexpensive. I live in AZ so snow/ice are not an issue. Occasional rain happens but usually just hot dry asphault.

Anyone have any ideas?

I did see that Falken makes some tires that aren't too expensive and look pretty nice. Anyone have experience with them?

I don't have experience with the Falkens. To be honest, I usually just go to Sam's and see what the manager recommends. If I remember right, they have a deal where you buy 3 and get the fourth Goodyear free right now.

Man, your ride is going to feel so much better with four new tires, isn't it?

Cooper tires are pretty good tires, I have used them, not too expensive.

I know on my old truck, new tires made a hell of a difference.

I drove the wheels off the Excursion and when I got a new set of Goodyears it felt like it was gliding on air.

Haha yeah. I had an older (96) Chevy with a small lift and some Nitto 295/75/16s. When they got old I replaced them with some Mickey Thompsons and it road SO much better!

I've got Kumho Solus KH16's on my GM now (bought it with them), and while I currently have nothing to complain about, I've also got nothing to rave about. My tire manufacturer of choice is BF Goodrich. I've bought Dunlops, Firestones, and had a set of Daytons in there too, but ever since I bought my first set of BFG's, I've been spoiled. I've purchased 3 sets of BFG Radial T/A's (white letters out, baby! Yeah!) for 3 different cars and I've never been disappointed. All weather traction, superior wear, great ride. What more could you ask for?
