Get Toyo tires. Toyo doesn't have a large budget for advertisements. Instead they focus on having great technologies on their summer and all-seasons.

It all depends on what you're looking for.
I work for a high-end car dealership and there is one thing that I can tell you....
For our Canadian climate there is no such thing as an "all season" tire.
You need a winter tire for winter (4 months a year) and summer or all season tire for spring summer and fall (the other 8 months).

If you drive a sports car or sporty car and you like it to handle like it's on rails then go for a strictly summer tire or a high-end all season (V or Z Rated).
If you drive a sedan then get a decent all-season tire.
You don't have to spend a lot to get a good tire.
Brands I'd stick with are Goodyear, Michelin, Toyo, Yoko, Pirelli, Conti and the best bang for your buck would be Kumho.
