Is sticky good? Or is it just a sign of better handling?

I take it you have 13 inch rims like I do?
14" actually. (tire size 185/70SR14)

That made me go to BJs wholesale club to get Michelins (44 psi max), when I normally get most stuff at sams club. I decided (after much internal debate) that the tire I got mattered more than where I got it. I realize this is not what you want to hear, sorry 'bout that.
Meh, I'm resigned to Costco as my shop - just curious if there's a potential difference in efficiency between these two tire models. Thanks for the info though, I'll be sure to look for max PSI differences.
