Tire shopping - 2015 Camry

I've been on Google for hours and hours and hours looking up reviews. For every good review I see, I find one that states the product is horrible. I thought I'd ask the community for first hand experiences on brands, wear, price, etc.
2015 Toyota Camry. I'm hoping to stay $150 per tire or less. Places like Discount and Firestone seem pretty high so I'm narrowing it down to Walmart or local tire shops (never tried Tire Rack, but I'm open to it if you've had good experiences).
So far, I've been looking at:
Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring A/S DT
Hankook Kinergy HT S735
Firestone All Season
Nexen N5000+
Goodyear reliant all season
Goodyear Assurance Outlast
BF Goodrich Advantage Control
Kumo Solus Ta51a

Any experience with these brands, either praises or regret? Any for brands I haven't mentioned? Of course, looking for long life, good warranty, and hopefully something will low rolling resistance/something that won't increase my mpg (if that's even really a thing, idk).
Thanks for all input.
I use shore drive tires available at firestone. They are a rebranded kumho tire. I find them to be really good especially for the price. They are great in wet conditions and are very quiet. I was hesitant to buy these but I'm happy I did. They were somewhere around $80 for 2:15/60r16
 
^^^^This...I have the Pirelli P4 Persist tires on 3 family vehicles and they are non-directional. I crisscross rotate them every 6 months.
Yeah, the representative on the phone said I can rotate them however I wanted. I asked her if there was a specific way they need to be mounted.. She said she was "pretty sure" I mount them however. Unsatisfied with that answer, I called back and the second rep said "they recommend" the last for digits of the DOT number to be visible on the outside... Which is the case for three out of my four tires. Wanted to make sure this was a non-issue before I add this to my already full to-do list
 
If you mean the P4 Persist AS Plus, they are non-directional, symmetrical. That means there is no way to mount them incorrectly.

Asymmetrical tires will have some sort in inside/outside marking. Directional tires will have sort sort of arrow indicating the direction of rotation.
That's what I thought! The service rep said they were asymmetrical. They look the same on both sides, just mirrored (tread pattern goes down on one side and up on the other).
 
"DOT number to be visible on the outside."

That is for ease of manufacturing date inspection, nothing else.

Thanks, guys. For what it's worth, the Pirelli tires have been great. Tread still looks new. The mpg can't compete with my previous tires (Firestone Fuel Fighters) but those or obsolete. Overall, not bad at all.
