Without saying what is important to YOU

in a tire (you said you are very price sensitive but nothing beyond that) and how you drive and where I'd be hard pressed to recommend a tire.

Rank these in order of importance to YOU:
Dry Braking
Dry Handling
Wet Braking
Wet Handling
Hydroplaning Resistance
Noise
Ride
Rolling Resistance/Gas mileage
Tread life
Snow Traction
Ice Braking

If I know you must have Snow Traction, the recommendation is wildly different than if I see you want Dry Handling..for example.

There is no such thing as a best tire, they are all compromises even the most expensive. But some are better than others at one specific thing.

Don't put wildly different characteristic tires on the front and rear axles.
