For what it's worth I just installed Michelin LTX
LT195/75R14/C M+S at Costco for about $100/ea.  This
after one of the cheepy passenger tires that came with
the Weekender nearly blew out on a windy drive up to
Snoqualmie Pass.  Another one flatted earlier while
camping.  Admittedly, these tires had 40k+ miles on
them, and were probably of much lower quality than
your Michelin X Ones.  Nonetheless, I'll definitely
feel more secure having reinforced tires for any
future trips.  (Of course, I never realized how
unsuitable my original tires while I was driving on
them.)

I haven't been on the highway yet with the new tires,
but I've already noticed a definite improvement in
handling during around town driving.
