Default Tire suggestions

My 2006 Camry, which I bought five years ago, is still running strong at 166,000 miles, so much so that I put over $3000 worth of paint on it last fall. I've been running Pirelli Four Seasons tires on it, and the front ones could be replaced. Before buying two more Pirellis, I thought I'd see if anyone has any other recommendations. I live in the Dallas, Texas, area, so I am routinely going from highway to side roads, and there are occasional long distance road trips as well. I know there's a certain amount of subjectivity in this, but there are objective factors as well. Any suggestions?

I tend to stick with the Michelan brand and get them at Costco if available. I think Discount Tire matches prices. In the past Michelin had a buy 3 and get one free deal.

My experience with Camry is tires only seem to matter in snow which assume you don't have. Here the car tends to slide around a lot in the snow.

You might get opinions at Toyotanation.com but they will be all over the place as expected. Tirerack.com has opinions on most tires.

If you like the tires you have now might stick with them.

There is something to not mixing tire brands but never experienced any issues doing this myself.

The other brand would be Continental for their all season upscale touring tires if Michelan stopped making the rim size for a car. Covid resulted in Michelan dropping some tire rim sizes.

I agree with Joey on the Michelin tires. The only complaint I hear about these are the price but never any negatives about the quality.
