2 cars, each has a nail puncture in the shoulder when they were fairly new (8/10") but the tires were close out and no more new stocks. So instead of throwing away 2 near new tires I bought 2 used one to match (same year, 8/10", eBay)

Sounds corny in this day and age, but I waited 6 years to do it. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4. They were A/S 3's and I think 3+ while I was looking and waiting.
I bought a used car in 2016 and it had new Rydanz Roadster 02s, engineered in Europe, made in China so the co says. Had to wear them out before replacing. 3/4 were plugged and leaking lol
It is very satisfying to get things after waiting. Feels like being a kid.

Tacoma Out: Original Firestone Destination LE - P245/75R16
Tacoma In: Michelin Defender LTX M/S - P245/75R16
All my trucks end up with this Michelin tire, it is my favorite (dry, wet, snow, noise, ride, wear - all excellent).

Vredestein Sprint+, 205/50Y17 & 255/40Y17 on the '96 911 replacing Conti DSW's. Not sure why a car that spent the past ~20 years in New Orleans had AS tires.
My first set of 'modern' Vredesteins as I've had many sets of their Sprint Classics on older cars.

How did you like the Firestone? I was thinking of a set of Destination LE3's but they're as expensive as Michelin. Were you please with the Firestone brand?
Dsw are an amazing performance tire. The only thing I think might be better are the Michelin pilot sport series. I’ve had both though
Used 18" RX350 wheels for my HiHy for winter duty
Two weeks ago today, Michelin Primacy 225/60R18 on painted wheels and got a new car, shown in my avatar, included in the deal. 
Off: 225/60-16 Fuzion (4 ea.) - Tip: Don't buy Fuzion tires. They wear fine but produce a crazy amount of road noise. At least these did.

Dextero DTR1 from Walmart in Dec 2023 at $60/tire plus $15 install. Low cost option when I had a broken belt. Decent tires all around until you hit over 70mph then there seems to be a bit of a off balance issue. I plan to try a rebalance and see if that corrects it. If I had a do over I would go Michelin for about another $100 as they never let me down.

Set of 4 General Altimax RT45 for a 2015 Subaru Forester, $647 installed. Pleased with the tires, good value and quiet.
The RT45 is a great tire I recommend them all the time.

Glad to hear you like them.
I just purchased a set for the 240s. 185/70R14.
I am hoping they are quieter than the RT43s.
I was contemplating Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, or Continental ExtremeContact DW02. But, then realized we only have 2 real months of hit weather, and then cold mornings and nights. So, Michelin Pilot A/S 4 or Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus.
I didn’t have Continental performance tire for some time, so decided that.
Took off track tires I was using since I took of snows, 225/45 R17. Put 18” wheels I purchased two years ago, 225/40 R18. I know Continental is very smooth and comfortable, but these are actually more comfortable than Yokohoma Advan Apax V601 I took off that have beefier sidewall.
