Right now, Costco has Goodrich Premier Touring for $251.96 installed out the door OR Michelin X-radial DT for $343. I've always had Michelin but why not go for the Goodrich and save $100?

Both are size P185-70-R14

They're both "Michelins", FWIW; I like my Goodyears, hate Michelins.

Michelins generally last forever, but are crap for traction cold or on wet surfaces. Goodrich don't last near as well, but usually have better traction. For the money, probably won't get hurt on the deal.
