Question Michelin Tire Choices for my W124 Coupe

I'm going to buy a new set of 15" tires right now since I can't make up my mind on what upgraded rims I want. I have the standard 15 hole 15 x 6.5 rims. I was thinking of getting 205/60/VR15 instead of the 195/65/VR15. I have a credit with Michelin that I want to use, but all the reviews that I have read about Michelin are bad . Has Michelin gone down hill? I was considering the Pilot XGT V4. What do you guys think?

This is what the Michelin website recommends:
http://www.michelinman.com/mastapp/servlet/Controller/site.toolkit.advisor.ShowResults?vehicle=10891&source=TAHP

Here is what they have that fits my car:

195/65/15 91H -Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus or
195/65/15 89V -Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus or
215/60/15 94H -Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus

----------------------------------------
195/65/15 91V -Michelin Energy MXV4 S8 (OEM)

----------------------------------------
195/65/15 91V -Michelin Pilot Primacy

----------------------------------------
195/65/15 89H -Michelin Pilot XGT H4 or
215/60/15 93H -Michelin Pilot XGT H4

----------------------------------------
215/60/15 93V -Michelin Pilot XGT V4


The other alternative would be from BFGoodrich since Michelin is the parent company.

205/60/15 91V -g-Force ™ Sport

----------------------------------------
195/65/15 91H -Traction T/A® H/V -This is the only tire with a warranty
205/60/15 91H -Traction T/A® H/V -Warrany is 60,000 miles
215/60/15 94H -Traction T/A® H/V
