That depends on your wheels, ...penta, asteroid, after market, etc... There are many brands available and are for you to decide, but I would recommend staying away from aggressive tire patterns like Goodyear Eagles and look toward Michelin AS 3+ or the like. If you go to tirerack.com, find your size, then you'll get a list of available brands and sizes. Prompt one that interests you, then when the info loads, usually under it will be a comparison video of at least 2 other manufacturer makes for your review.
It may take a bit to do the comparisons, but in the long run, you'll be more knowledgeable.

I put the NEXEN N Fera SU1 235/50 R17 on my SOLAR Wheels and they look really nice.
They are good for heavy loads and speeds that would cause any traffic cop to dance a Jig on my drivers licence if they catch me..


Nexen is a good mid range tyre with really ok quality and fair price. On a Daimler... they could maybe have been a tad quieter..

I installed Pirelli Cinturato P7 All-Seasons Plus and like them. They were dinged in some reviews for being not so good for wet traction, but I haven't noticed anything like that.
