It costs more and you will get less miles out of than others on the list. That is a bad combination to never pay itself off.

trying to see which of these 3 would be best

Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max - Set of 4: $364.00
Bridgestone B381 -Set of 4: $476.00
Michelin Defender - Set of 4: $376.00
Kumho eco Solus HM KR22 - close out and none left...
I went with the Michelin Defender. It is cheap and is a 90k mile tire! Where it lacks in being the best LRR tire it makes up in better handling, braking, and wet traction.

Also, look for good local sales too. When I got mine I got $120 off from instant savings and rebates. I also got them to knock off another $10 per tire making it about $380ish installed, no shipping costs, a free alignment, and lifetime rotation/ balancing.
