It seems like within the last decade, that "So much is riding on your tires" mentality over at Michelin flew out the window. The last 3 sets of Michelins I've had have been terrible. The ones I had on my Honda (don't remember which ones they were, but they were damn near $200/tire) were so bad, I had them off the car before 20K miles. Been burned 3 times, there won't be a 4th attempt.
