What are your driving preferences and what is the climate where you are?

Michelin is indeed the best of the best. But you can find some very decent brands for the half of the price. Continental for instance (I don't know if this is sold in the US) is known to be a very good level of quality for the price.

I have Hydroedge on my 02 Camry LE.
Not sure what is your preference when come to handling and noise.
Here is my experience:
It is T rated tire but the ride & handling is firmer than the OEM (Michelin LX4), which is what i prefer.
More road noise on certain road surface, quite notable.
As you already know, the look is nice.
Hope this help.

Lightbulb the best all weather tire

I highly recommend the Continental Conti-Extreme tire. They less than the Michelin but are better in my experience. Not many stores carry them so I ordered my from TireRack.

I can say that Goodyear Aquatreads are some of the worst tires for the money.

I think GY's in general are overrated. I prefer Firestones. Yeah, I know about the whole Ford Exploder thing and all...
