I put a little larger more aggressive tread than previous tires
I think they were Goodyear or similar they were on sale
I’m not brand loyal
I usually shop by price and need

Go to Tire Rack and look at reviews for the specific model, and driving style, not just the brand. And no, Michelin is not the gold standard. "Running Firestones" doesn't mean squat, either. Go to Discount Tire and have them put on whatever is in stock. This isn't rocket science.

Yokohama tires are made in Mississippi
Yes, they are…just outside of West Point, MS on Yokohama avenue!
We also have a new Continental Tire plant just outside of Clinton, MS.
These are direct offshoots of the automotive manufacturing plants that are popping up around Mississippi.

Yes I've been doing that very thing on tire rack. No it isn't rocket science, I just find it interesting to research all the different tires and ask for people's experiences. You can show up somewhere and just say "put whatever you got on it" but I'm not doing that.

I wouldn’t avoid them solely based on that.

Whatever you decide I would still compare the total price to the Michelin Defenders. If it's anywhere near close I would go with the Defenders. They are fantastic.
I have installed 11 sets of defenders over the last 20 years on my vehicles. Between myself, wife and kids, we’re rolling on 4 sets currently.
I replace when they hit 90,000. I had one set make it to 100,000. Only the 100,000 was completely worn out and down to 4/32.
I’ve purchased them all at Sam’s.

I put a lot of weight on stopping distance. You’re gonna be at fault if you rear end someone unless you have video. Which I do. Front and rear facing. And even then they will try to put some fault on you.

over thinking this baw, wife(no pics,) has a 2020 Jeep Wrangler, 120k miles, on it's third set of "Wranglers," it's not like she, or your wife, is going Bajaing or anything, they're just driving around town

Mastercraft
I've put only Mastercraft on my truck for about 5 years. If you rotate, the last and it's around $600 installed

I'm not. I find the tire stuff interesting, thus why I'm looking into it more than most people probably would.

Are you looking for mud tires or all terrain? If you are looking for all terrain, go with either the KO2 or the Falken Wildpeak. Both are great off road but the Wildpeak may have the KO2 beat on the road. I just put some Rubitreks on my truck last year but think I prefer the Wildpeaks.

Ugh you're pretty much gonna be at fault if you rear end someone even with a video.

I would avoid Continental. I just had some dry rot which I’d never seen before. They still had tread and were about 6 years old.

More All-Terrain or just All-Season really. Not really looking for anything with too much tread

My SUV came with Bridgstones and they lasted about 30,000 miles... Then I got Yokohamas and they lasted about the same.. Then I got Hankooks and they seem to better lasting I have about 80,000 on my car and the tires look to have plenty of tread left... I have paid attention to the tire pressure more but the first two sets of tires never went below 4 pounds the recommended level...
I am a grandpa driver and my Infiniti FX35 goes through tires and brakes like no other vehicle I have ever had.. 3 sets of tires.. 4 sets of rear brakes one was a complete replacement (rotors calipers and pads).. front is 2 sets and soon to be 3 sets... I asked the mechanic WTF and he said because the vehicle is heavy...

I have had tires on older jeeps and camp vehicles that were 15 years old with no dry rot. A 6 year old tire should not dry rot and fall apart.
