I like two:

Michelin X Radial (from Sam's Club or Costco)
Yokohama Avid TRZ

I'm using the Yokohamas right now. Excellent handling and response, and still a comfortable and quiet ride. They're a good balance of ride and handling for me. Also, I didn't lose any fuel economy with these as you typically do with new tires. If you're not looking for a performance summer tire, and just a decent all season tire, either of the above two would make an excellent choice.

Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS PP, assuming your corolling on 195/65-15, these are the best tires you can get interms of dry/rain traction and tread lifetime.

Also Bridgestone Potenza G019 Grid are good, slightly less dry traction and better wet traction, they also have longer tread lifetime.

Hey

Just dont get Stratas/Zenos.

Zeno Stratas are TERRIBLE i have a set right now that i bought and they are disgusting!!!!@!@!@! Air loss in them is really high, they say that it has 400 treadware but i already lost more than that because its low profile etc.

You want michelins.

Michelin Hydroedges for all seasons, no other tire comes close to lasting as long, 800 treadwear rating.

They are low-rolling resistance as well so they'll help your economy.

Hey i got a question as well what does the Treadware mean any ways?

From what i understand its how much tread is on obviously

But i got tires Zeno Stratas and they are suppose to be 400 treadware but they expired on me at 30,000 miles. And i took very good care of them. Removed Nails Plugged them etc.
