michellin too expensive la, if you calculate the $$ vs performance (grip & quietness). But no doubt it will be one of the best choice if you have money. I can't say which tire is good for anyone. Because everyone has different driving style and requirement. If you are just a normal driver with common car, who drives 70-90km/h everyday, you don't need to have P-zero on your wheels.

And also, if change to a bigger set of rim, make sure the offset is suitable for your car. If not, when you are cornering with high speed, the tire will rub against your car body or the plastic thing under the front mudguard. Max 2 size up, eg. 13" to 15" , 15" to 17" or etc. But 15" is the best size for most non performance car. And make sure the camber/alignment set correctly. For example, normally if use s or more size up rims, the tire will not gonna be 'straight' or toe out. If you straighten or toe in the wheels to avoid the tire wear unevenly, it will be very dangerous at high speed cornering (some cars may feel it at a low 80km/h).
Please think twice if you wanna change to a bigger rim set. The recent wira with 3 men died after hit the cows was using 17" or above rim (if you ever notice on the news paper photo). If they use a 15" with reasonable tires, the result may different. Sometimes, there are so many things that we never take note except the main theory. And that minor/non direct related thing cause us to pay with our priceless life.
No offence, but those Myvi owners who put 17" on their wheels, when they drive at 90km/h, they should always remind themselves that, K-cars are banned on Japan's highways not for no reasons.
