If you are going budget brand, I'd stick with a budget brand made by one of the top manufacturers (e.g. Goodyear, Continental, etc.). Douglas tires are made by Goodyear. You aren't going to get there latest technologies, but you'll get a tire that has a long reputation.
The conventional measure of one direction handling are skidpads, and dynamic handling (as in emergency maneuvers) are slaloms. This is very basic stuff that is covered well in testing that you can research if you desire.
None of this is to knock your sister's tires. There are bare minimum standards that exists for the manufacture of tires as you point out. It's not about fear. It's about understanding that extra money spent can actually buy better performing tires that can make a vehicle stop faster and handle better. I'm glad you mentioned tire wear, because that's another area where better tires drop off far less than others. This is the hardest area to find data on as most tires are tested new. I could link you to a Michelin study, that's shows variance from new to old across brands, but there's too much bias there as Michelin conducted the test. Just talking about anecdotes like you were, I can tell you I bought Falken tires once. They offered very good out-of-the-box performance when new, but boy did they become shit in the wet once slightly worn. I wish there was better testing to know that could happen. On the other hand, I've had Yokohama Avid Ascend GTs that maintained impressive all weather performance their entire life, and they are fairly cheap for what is offered.

The Goodyear tires I bought from them and the initial install was fine though. So if you are just going to pay again to balance/rotate the tires somewhere else anyways, or rotate them yourself, then Walmart was fine I guess.
I have no real comment on the price of the tires in this deal. When I saw the price I had sticker shock but that doesn't mean they aren't a good current deal. Sometimes you don't have months to shop for the best tire deals.
I personally buy loads of tires every year. I go through so many tires, in 2020 I purchase my own mounter and balancer. Between vehicles, trailers, and equipment I have about 60 tires. Sometimes potholes don't give you this luxury. We are early into this year and I just purchased my 11th tire for the year. Normal years I buy between 12 to 20 tires every year.
Something like $17 to $27 per tire for installation (I can't remember what the higher cost gets you..maybe its their lifetime road hazard protection)
Not sure if price varies location to location though

I looked at him and just said "It's a 13 year old Audi SUV that literally gets driven probably 5,000 miles a year."
I thought to myself "That's funny because these come ridiculously well reviewed on TireRack and very highly rated by TireRack, as well. Just shut the hell up and do the install that I'm paying you to do. I don't need your negative opinion because I didn't want to pay double to buy tires from your shop"

Achilles, Westlake, Lexani, Landsail, Crosswind, Waterfall
It feels like that Simpson's episode where Homer's shopping for a new TV.
"I know a genuine Magnetbox, Panaphonic, & Sorny when I see one."

$10/tire to mount them
$17/tire for lifetime balance and rotation
Depending on location, ~$2-3 disposal fee per tire purchased
Walmart WILL NOT install tires that are not the factory recommended size on a vehicle, even if it's just a single tire to match the others you're currently using. Just something to be aware of
If a person is informed and decides they'd rather save the money and gamble that they won't need the performance, that's at least rational. On the other hand, if a person just lies to themselves that the less expensive tires do not potentially decrease safety, that's not an educated decision.

They sell generic TPMS sensors for about $28 if you need new ones.
