A season tire recommendation for OE 20s

Not a lot of options (checked local and Tire Rack, Mavis, etc.), and the most reasonable seems to be the Bridgestone Alenza...any experience with these and/or alternative recommendations?

Thanks!

I have Antares Comfort A5 H/T and they are excellent. They handle well. they're quiet and are wearing well. They were on it when I bought it. I was a little apprehensive because they are a low price tire made in China. I've been pleasantly surprised by them and would buy another set if they ever wear out.
Another inexpensive tire with excellent reviews is the Atturo AZ850.
They are both about half the price of the "big name" tires.

Take a look at Kumho Ecsta PA51. I'd say they're a bargain and they've treated me very well the past 2 years.

Michelin LTX. Had those on my Lexus truck for 70k miles. Not expecting anything similar on GLK, but they have much higher tread rating and are supposed to have very good snow performance for those winter days. I only replaced one pair and can't really comment on any impact on performance.
With my old worn rear tires (which I replaced) I almost did a tokyo drift on wet on ramp
