I absolutely love the ComforTreds.  It turns out that Walmart had the best price at $77/ea. plus $15 mounting.  I got my local favorite shop to price-match and I'm in business for about $400 including tax and road hazard warranty.

I like the better grip of the ComforTreds, but what I secretly enjoy even more is the reduction in road noise.  It was easier to rationalize the cost of new tires based on safety, but the noise is what keeps me smiling down the road.

What pressure are you running the ComfortTreds at?

Great. That's what I am running the Integrities at. I get mine on Friday and am looking forward to the smoother, quieter ride. Thanks for the helpful info.

Too late for you, but this may help others.  We knew delivery would be January 2nd. (06, level 4) Two weeks before, an order was placed with Discount Tire for Michelin Hydrodeges.  Went directly from the dealer to the tires.  $120 allowance.  With Michigan tax, etc, etc, etc it ended up at about $420.  Note:  Still think you should switch, even at the higher price, just for the safety issues alone.

First ever post on any board - sorry if I mess it up - WHY did you pick Michelin Hydrodeges? I have mixed luck with Michelin and lean towards Pirellis. Live in rainly Nor. Cal. Thanks.
