I have run Michelin X-Ones for several years - got over 80K on first
set and have over 50K on this set and no problems - have not had to
even have them rebalanced.  Just rotate them every 10K miles or so.

Go to tirerack.com and look at their ratings.  Those people like
Bridgestone Potenza a lot - a couple of friends have purchased those
and have been very happy - there are several different models so take
note.  See what they say about the hydroedge tires.

I was extremely unhappy with Michelin energy tires - mxv4 - absolutely
unsafe in rain.  The X-One's are superb in rain - the Potenza maybe
even better.  I trust the people at tirerack.  When I can't get a deal
from the local tire guys - I buy from tirerack and get them installed
for $12/wheel.

The November issue of Consumer reports has a tire test that covers, among
others, the Hydroedge. It was chosen as a Quick Pick, second only to the
Michelin X as an all-season tire, but in the test was rated below it in the
Tread Life column. They had a provision that stated that if long tread life
is a deciding factor, the Hydroedge was second to the Yokohama Avid TRZ in
these tests.

great tires, bought a set this past spring, they move a lot of water, only
complaint is they pick up stones due to the large sipes in the tread
pattern.
