You've never heard of Michelin?

Since this is the tire thread I've got a few questions.
My Bridgestone Dueler run flats need to be replaced. No room for a spare unless I want to just throw it in the back of the SUV.
Would you stick with run flats since that is what the factory put on the vehicle or go with regular tires?
If regular tires would you keep a spare in the back and sacrifice room, or keep a spare at home and a slime kit in the trunk?
Is Sears, Discount Tire, etc the best place to buy tires due to nationwide stores and warranty? (Rather than buy online to save a few bucks and have a shop put them on.
I travel out of town for work most weeks, drive 500-1000 miles each week, 80% of those miles are highway miles in the Southwest where the next town could easily be 50 miles if I had a blowout.
I also drive over rough potholes daily, thanks to desert weather.

tirerack.com. Plug in your car make, year, and model. Great tire specials. Ship to a local place and they will put them on for a charge. I ordered 4 Michelin primacy tires under 500 total. The Metry firestone put them on for 60 bucks.

Do not do this. Go to tire rack.com price the tires you want and bring in the printout to discount tire. They will match tirerack and you will have them same day most times.

I have no idea, just regular car tires. Between Firestone or Goodyear are those the two brands to look for? They're the only ones I know.
Check out yeti and costa, I don't know but I heard ppl saying they're good

It worked for me. I didn't need the tires immediately, so I waited the 3 days and set up the appointment with firestone.

Nah. If you really need new tires, you should definitely be trading in and upgrading to a new vehicle.

Nothing fancy but I don't want cheap Chinese ones either. What's the brands to get or avoid and where should I go to buy them (Monroe area)?
What kind of car? Do you want all season? Performance tires? Do you want a quieter ride or do you prioritize grip? What size? What budget?
