I installed the Michelin X and I think they are great. As to the
mileage hit, at most it's one mile per gallon lower than with the
original tires. In return they are quieter and have a stiffer
sidewall so the car is affected much less by wind buffetting.

Costco may still be running their $60 rebate sale on 4 Michelins so
check it out soon.
