I have, for many many (about 40) years, gravitated to either Cooper or Kelly. The brands have been around a long time, they have plenty of independent dealers who are not franchisees, and I've never had a sub-prime tire experience with them. I buy from their low-priced line, nowadays about $50 a tire mounted and balanced.

Coopers a good brand as well and their subsidiary Avon is decent. I've never been too impressed with their other spin-off lines; Dean, Mastercraft and Starfire.

Kelly is actually a division a Goodyear and most of their tires are Goodyear tread designs with lower quality rubber compounds. Definitely a decent "value" tire.
