Ammo,
Ignore anyone who tells you a specific brand makes the right tires for your vehicle, driving environment and driving habits. While W tire from Michelin is good for X car, in Y environment for Z driver, it may not be the best choice for your vehicle, where you live and your driving style. To take it a step further, X model from Michelin in Y size doesn't mean the same tire in a different size will offer equivalent performance on the same or a different car. You must do homework in order to find the right tires for your vehicle, environment and driving habits.
For example... I never in a million years expected to use Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires on a 1996 Ford Crown Victoria police interceptor. Yet, research suggested them to be one of the best choices for the vehicle. I took the chance and they were fantastic. But, would they be the right choice for your car? Maybe. Maybe not. You'd have to do your homework.
Tirerack.com is a greta place for getting information. They were one of the sources I used when choosing the tires for the crown vic.
