caranddriver.com did a test on different tires.

I was thinking of getting Toyo T1-R but they were rated poorly. On the flipside, continentals contisportscontact 2 ranked second place. I would actually save $30 per tire if I went with continentals. Anyone here recommend continentals over the Toyo?

One other one I consider is BFG KDW NT which is same price as Toyo T1-R.

My biggest factors are quietness and how long it lasts.

Thanks for your inputs.

I have 6,000 miles on my T1 Rs. They are quiet, have shown no signs of feathering, and grip is fine. I don't see any signs of rapid wear & think I'll get at least the 24,000 miles out of them that I got on the OEMs.

The "best" tires by most tests are Goodyear Eagle GF D3 but they were not made in OEM 18" sizes so I went with Toyo.

Then maybe you should not be looking at a performance tire. The criteria that you stated is most applicable to a all-season tire.
