I bought the Michelin ZPs about 2 years ago and have 10,000 miles on
them. I got them at Alban Tire in Northern VA for $1400 and change,
installed, balanced, and filled with nitrogen. Couldn't be happier -
quiet and are wearing evenly or not wearing at all - can't tell. I do
mostly road trips and country driving.

My Good Years lasted 40K miles and got through inspection, but they
wouldn't last the year. I couldn't stand the noise.

I would get the ZPs, but shop around - I got them installed for less
than what Tire Rack charges for the tire.
