One of the funny things about tires is that it's not just price vs quality--there are clear trade offs between longevity, grip, ability to handle snow and rain, ride comfort, noise level. Michelins are excellent tires, but within the brand, a person still has to consider these compromises. The reason I suggested Tire Rack earlier is that their reviews explain the strengths and weaknesses of each model on specific vehicles so that each driver can decide based on what is most important to them.
