My experience has been that brand is not enough to know if a tire's good or not. My brother's Integra came with Michelins and they were the worst tire I've ever ridden on. Mine came with Bridgestone RE92s, which are the second worst tire I've ever ridden on. And I like Bridgestone.
Personally I don't think the Michelins are worth the money.
