IMHO you made a very wise decision, ARTILLERY6.
I started using Michelins in the 70's, and have used only Michelin since (a couple of sets of BFGoodrich after Michelin bought them).
NEVER had a tire failure in the almost 50 years of usage on cars, pickups and RVs.
People say they have "luck" with Michelins. It isn't luck, it's Michelin's never ending dedication to quality and quality control.
To a large degree tires are at the mercy of the owners maintenance, but I honestly believe the Michelins are more forgiving when the maintenance is something less than perfect.
