Is your tyre size 205/65/15 ? I think that a touring tyre will most likely meet your driving needs. 

Have a look at the MICHELIN ENERGY XM2+ 205/65R15 99V   It is a high mileage/touring tyre.

My vehicle safety and convenience is worth more to me than saving a few dollars buying cheap unknown brand tyres.

I learnt this lesson from experience with a Chinese brand called Goodride. I got them cheap with 90% tread and discovered their non-performance in the wet. I found out later from internet posts that cheap tyres may be quite ok when initially fitted and for the 1st 10% of tread life. 

I only buy and recommend known brand quality tyres. Also do your research and buy the latest generation of a tyre.

Toav, 

what I do know is that the major tyre manufacturers spend lots on R&D and release new generations of their tyres.

I read a fair number of tyre reviews and watch YouTube videos on best rated tyres. I do not have Nexen and Achilles brand tyres on my watchlist for future tyre purchases. 

My focus is upon a premium quality touring type tyre with good wet weather braking and handling performance. For some years, I have Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Dunlop, Yokohama on my shortlist. If I had to buy tyres tomorrow, I would most likely go Michelin unless Continental had a 4 for 3 deal. 

Best to look at your owner's manual for a definite answer about the fuel warning light. I am guessing that your vehicle has a 4 cyl engine and a 60 litres fuel tank, so I would say 10 litres. In contrast my V6 has a 70 litre fuel tank and the warning light displays at 15 litres. 

Please note that with a fuel pump located internally in the fuel tank, it is cooled by the surrounding fuel. If you want the fuel pump to last longer, not a good idea to be running your vehicle near empty except very occassionally. I regularly refuel my vehicle before the half full mark.
