Goodyear tripletred or Michelin Hydroedge?

I'm planning to get a set of tires. I want to know if the two tires is good? I have a stock honeycomb rim. The size of the tires I'm thinking of getting is 215/60-15. Will there be any rubbing if I get the 215 width? or 225?

I went to tirerack and the two tires seems to be very good. Which one should i get?

I've no experience with either of them but my overall opinion of both Goodyear and Michelin is that they are expensive and over-rated tires. At least the Assurance has some really good reviews going for it, I know because I was looking into it when I was considering replacing tires for my wife's prior car.

If you wanna save some bucks, I just installed the Firestone LH30's in my daughter's Neon replacing a quartet of Goodyear LS's and I am extremely impressed....they are really excellent tires...soft, quiet and really tenacious grip in the wet....

dont get me wrong michelin and GY are great Tires i used to have a set of regattas on my buick and they were sticky and held up great. but it is like buying a dell computer over an emachines or buying dawn or palm olive over a store brand soap you just pay a little more for the brand name
