I think you can do better than those for the money. I've heard that they dont last too long. Personally, I'm gonna go with the new Bridgestone Potenza RE950. I've got the old school 930's and I love em...

Hmmm... Those look like good tires. Hope they work out for you. However, I think you could've gotten a little more bang for you buck.

I have the Michelin's in 225/50/16

and I love them. They are the third set of tires on my 98 SE (with stock 16" rims). The first set of stock Toyo's were crap. The second set were Pirelli P7000 SuperSports in 225/50/16 and they were nice when new and very loud when 1/2 worn. I replaced them about 15K miles ago with the Michelins and I love them. They handle well (not quite as sticky as the P7000s when new), ride nicely, and are very quiet (which is what I wanted after the loud Pirelli's). They appear to be around 1/3 worn which should mean that I can get close to 50K on them before I need to replace them. Good luck!

I had the Michelins in 215/60/15 on my I30t and they were great tires. I got them installed and with lifetime balancing/road hazard from Discount Tire for ~$430 including tax. They came with 40kmi warranty.

You could get a dunlop SP 6000 V speed rated for better performance, life, comfort at about the same price!
