New tires, want Michelin

Only 22,000 miles but the tires are so worn that they need to be replaced. I took it to the dealer complaining of a "rumbling" they rebalanced them and then said they rotated them.. Well now instead of the rumbling fron the front it comes from the back. The front (now rear) tires are worn excessively(almost no tread at all) on the inner side..)

I have Goodyear something OE on them right now.

I am going to get new tires I want Michelin. Any suggestions for the best tire? I need an all season - I went to costco and they suggested the Michelin mxv4 plus

anyone have any experience?

E320CDI, CLK55, and a Smart
Stay away from the Michelin pilot A/S. Stick with Pilot Sport or PS2.

depends on the weather
while the Pilot SPort A/S did have some issues with MB's in the past those issues have been corrected so, you can consider those but the Energy MXV4 Plus will offer better ride quality.

I would recommend the Bridgestone Turanza LS

Thanks. The ratings on these tires (on tirerack) look a lot better than the MXV4's. I think I'll go with these.

Just searched Costco and they don't have these. Darn.
