Rank these tire brands....
*MODERATOR, move this thread as needed.*
In the market for some tires, and well, frankly, i dont buy tires too often. Trying to figure out the level of these tires are, so that i know i'm paying right. Can you rank in order from worst to best so that I can get an idea what's good? (in no particular order) Pirelli Bridgestone Kumho Michellen Toyo Yokohama

I went from the OEM Michelin on my 01' 4.4 SP, to Pirelli's and am very pleased with their performance. Also, in a pinch they are M+S rated. I'm going to get them again . They should see 30K before I hit the wear bars.

I think all those major brands are "very good";
like any mfg'er these days, there is considerable variety & quality level among the species of tires in each brand. And, are you looking for "grip" vs wear, "all around", some snow drives, all summer stuff, etc. ? Many here, inc. me, would rate the oem Micheys as outstanding, except in serious snow/ice. GL,md

I have Yoko's on the X for 18 months and they have been great through both NE winters and the warmer summer months.
I'm on the second set of Toyos on my Exploroer and they are a great tire. Either, for me, beats the OEM fitted Mitchellen.

I have been happy with the OEM Michelin's. Have 21k miles now, and probably will go another 5-7k before replacing.
I will be upgrading to 20's. Where are you guys getting your Toyos? I heard good things about them, but Tirerack where I normally get my tires don't carry them. TIA.
