BrantyB is correct - you ask 5 ppl what brand to buy and you'll get 7 answers.

TireRack is a good place to look. If you do a deep dive on any tire, you can go a bit deeper and find a chart that compares that tire and other similar tires by approx 8 categories - ride, mileage, wet, dry, snow drivability, etc. You can pick the features that are important to you and zero in on the tires that fits them. Of course these scores are based on people's opinions. If you dive into the feedback section, you'll get 1 person who says it's the greatest tire on earth and the next ad will say it's pure crap.
