Cheap tyres or expensive tyres? Big difference?

Is there a big difference in amount of Ks you get. Or is it all crap! I have a subaru lancaster, 215.60.16, and need four for next warrent. Im not talking about the really cheap ones just mid range to good. I am expecting to spend about $250 a corner, but can I spend less and get good value out of them. I am not brand loyal, and its a family car. What are your recommendations or advice.

Yes you can probably spend $200-$230 a corner incl fitting and balancing and they will still be good quality. Toyo, Yokohama, Bridgestone, Goodyear have tyres in that size for the $200-$230 a corner bracket.

Goodyear Assurance, Should be anywhere around from $200 plus. We have put more then a few set's on lancaster's and they are getting good kms out of them.

Or GT Radial 128 or Gt Radial BAX, They both good tyres but not as good as the goodyear. Would be looking around $170-$190 each

You could get the new firestone TZ700 for less than $200 a corner.

Why would you bother with firestone tyres. GT Radial would be way better
