'05 Q - tire recommendation

[iamthewalrus]

I looked in the wheel & tire forum, and didn't see any that fits my question, so here goes.
My 2005 Q needs new tires. Can anyone recommend a brand /model?
It has the standard 225/55-17's on it, and I'd like to stay around $150 per tire (if possible).
I'm after that nice mix of quiet ride and longevity.
I'm a Costco member and they currently have a $70 off a set of 4 Michelin's, but this is the best part...the tire I saw online (before the rebate) was a MXM4 and selling for $162 each. Now they went up by $10 so the rebate isn't much of a rebate.
Anyway...thanks......

The last three sets of tires I've purchased were based on ratings on TireRack.com. Each set exceeded my expectations.

Funny thing is that a local dealers matched the TireRack prices with next day delivery from a local distributor.

I've always found a big difference in attitudes when you go in seeking a particular brand and model rather than seeking advice on selections. Going in with a TireRack price eliminates a lot haggling as well.

There are better Michelins than MXM. But I don't know if they are made in 17 for your car.
