I just bought a full set of Michelin LTX's, and I'm incredibly pleased with them. They are all season/mud and snow rated. The contrast to the old tires is incredible, but the old ones were badly worn, and a wheel alignment was WAY overdue, so some of the improved feel is due to that. I was driving in heavy rain last weekend, and even when I drove through running water an inch or so deep, the van did not feel like it wanted to wander or hydroplane. Even my Volvo doesn't feel as stable on wet roads.
