Michelin Hydroedge - what do you think?

Need a set of new all-season's and came across the Michelin Hydroedge(http://www.michelinman.ca/catalog/ti...etype=0&tire=0). Just wondering if anyone has any experience with them and what you think of them. Or if you have other recommendations, please do not hesitate to comment (something more economical is always a good thing ).

I'm a fairly conservative driver so I don't need the ability to be able to stick to the ground while I make a 60km right turn

T vs. V rated?

Went to Costco last night and asked them about getting the Hydroedge on the TL.

They recommended against intalling it because it is a different rated tire than our current stock tire (T rated vs. V rated). Basically, he told me that the tire compound is harder so that it will be harder on suspension and the possibility of "skipping" when stopping would increase.

Is this true and should I be only going with a V rated tire??

T is a really low rating. I wouldn't recommend putting T rated tires on a TL-P.

There are plenty of good and reasonably priced tires out there with V or higher ratings to choose from.

My current tires are W rated (which exceeds V) and were about $90/per.
