Tires...G35X

Well, this week in a pinch I had to go out and get some new tires for my G35X due to time constraints I did not get a chance to do much research on brands etc. I was going to go with the Toyo Extenza's 215-55-17-93V but I had heard these were not the best tires wear wise. So I opted for Michelin Energy MXV4 S8's. I have had Michelin's in the past and have had good luck, but I have been looking at some reviews on the Michelin Energies and what I have been reading has not been good. So I was wondering if any of you are using these tires on your G's and what you think of them. They were very expensive, tires alone came to just over $900.00 Canadian.

Canadian Tire was having a sale on General Tire's Arctic altimax tires.

They were $129 a pop for 215/55 R17.

Really good tires from what I've heard and read.

But I'm broke so cant afford them.

Yea, I may buy tires from Crappy Tire but no way in hell they are going to install them for me! I just dont have time to put snows on and go through all the BS of buying steelies for the snows and storage for the summers. I hope I made the right choice with the Michelins though!

You can get the General altimax on www.tirerack.com for $106 per tire plus shipping but seeing you live in Canada you might be better off getting them there because shipping might not be to cheap.

So anyone have any experience with the Michelin Energy tires on their G's?
