The OP didn't post what tire the "deal" was for. Kinda hard to answer the question without knowing that.
I put about 30K miles per year on the road (between 2 trucks), which doesn't include our family vehicle, so I end up with a new set of tires every 2-3 years on something. I know there are many good options out there, but I've done best with Bridgestone Dueler Revo A/T's. They are a consistent 70K mile tire.
The key to making sure they remain as quiet as possible and have the best ride is to keep them properly inflated, balanced, and rotated. That's age-old advice that can't be any simpler, but it's the truth. However, cheap tires are just that...cheap. Don't bite on a tire deal if the tires aren't any good anyway. Anytime I've ever tried to save a few dollars with a less expensive tire, it's bitten me in the butt. No more Goodyear Wrangelers or Firestone Destinations for me.
