Apparently my factory alignment was shit, and the tires are already up for replacement. The workshop I went to gives me three options. Please let me know if the prices look good, and which among the three would be the best choice.

KENDA - 235/60R18 XL VEZDA TOURING 4S (KR211)
- Good (according to the workshop)
- $148 each, $724.67 total, $100 extra for alignment
- 60,000 mile limited treadwear warranty
BRIDGESTONE - 235/60R18 XL ALENZA AS ULTRA
- Better
- $259 each, $1256.14 total, $100 extra for alignment
- 80,000 mile limited treadwear warranty
YOKOHAMA - 235/60R18 AVID ASCEND LX
- Best
- $224 each, $1088.56 total, $100 extra for alignment
- 85,000 mile limited treadwear warranty

Please recommend which one of these is a better set of tires, or if you have a better recommendation elsewhere.

Thanks!

A lot depends on how you drive, how much you drive, and where you live. That being said: don't cheap out on tires just to save a buck.

I live in North Carolina, and work from home, so no daily commute. Since I got the car in 2021, I've driven about 25000 miles till now. Some out of state road trips, some hikes to the nearby mountains, that's about it for the driving. My confusion is how their 'best' recommendation is cheaper than their 'better' recommendation. Not sure which one to pick.

Go to something like tirerack and compare them side by side, the differences probably aren't huge either way for the amount you drive. I've run Yokohama all season before and my current snow tires are Bridgestones and I had no issues with either. Do the prices include mount and balance? Seems high otherwise.

Thanks for the suggestion. Alignment is $100 on top of the quoted price
