So far, I've come up with Conti 4x4 Sport Contacts, Conti Cross Contact UHP, Nitto Invo's, Toyo Proxes ST II's and Pirelli Rosso's and the Bridgestone Dueler HP Sports in our sizes...

I need a set of front tires due to replacing both front air shocks and then being told by the stealership that a front end alignment was not needed. Needless to say, the fronts have squared up and feel like kakapoopoo at 45 and then again at 65mph.
I really recommend the Bridgestones. They are a quality name brand, they look and ride great (a little softer and quieter than stock), and handling is just as good as the stock Michelins. And you're right, you can just about get 2 complete sets of the B's for the price of 1 set of Michelins. I'm going to buy the B's again when the time comes.
