We had Michelins as OEM tires they rode great and ran a bit over 40000 miles. Towards the end they started getting a bit noisy but nothing excessive - not like the Bridgestone run flats on my BMW. I did a lot of reading and put the Alenzas on. L O V E them with a quiet, smooth ride and virtually no wear showing now after 20000 miles. Plus, iirc, the B'stones have a mileage warranty whereas the Michelins don't.
I'm going with 4 Alenza's, Tires plus is doing it for $800 OTD w/ road hazzard warranty. I'm not going to bother with the spare tire. with 7K miles/yr, hopefully they'll last 7yrs (~50K).
