Well Michelin and Goodyear make well over a hundred different tires. Yes,
Michelin tend to be higher in price and Goodyear has made some stinkers. But
the word is that the new tripletread line is state of the art and a bit
lower in price than the Michelin's. I have the HydroEdge on my Town &
Country and find that they are truly superb (the OEM Continental were very
poor handling tires).
