Default What are you guys paying for the Michelin Latitude Tours?

I see them on tire rack for $152ea + $46 ground = $654 (road hazard adds $73 = $727) but then I have to get someone to mount and balance.

My local shop will mount, balance and include road hazard for $179.95ea or $719+tax ($777)

Michelin historically has found creative ways to enforce "minimum pricing" on their tires, so deals have been hard to come by.

I bought mine at Costo for $671. That includeds $45 Indiana sales tax and also a $70 discount coupon from Costco. They were balanced and mounted and filed with nitrogen.

I hope I'm still a few years away; but when I went to tirerack, selected default size for an 08, and LRR, it gave only 2 choices: Continental CrossContact LX rated 8, and General Grabber HTS rated 8.6 It doesn't list the Michellins. (have to unselect LRR to see the lat's)
Anyone have any input on either if these 2 tires? Noise/mpg mainly traction of course.
User reviews rate the general = or higher in all catagories except raod comfort -.3, road noise -.1, and tread life -.7. It does say the General weighs 4# more (x 4 or 5 tires = 16-20#more, not a signifiant mpg loss), and save $200/4.
Only revies so far are on a Benz, Journey & econoline.

Thoughts?
Also opnions on black or OWL sidewalls?

Ended up getting them locally for $160/ea installed plus got a $70 rebate from Michelin coming. Not bad.
