I had a '85 Civic that ate itself though the OEM tires and a set of Vredesteins, but did over 80,000 km (50,000 miles) on a set of Michelin Energy tires; the rears actually lasted another 40.000 km. Needless to say, I have used several Michelin sets since then. Always grippy, always better FE than the other brand tires that came off whatever car it was, and always lasting well.
On my Nissan Almera I experienced some cupping on the outer thread edge, but that was probably some alignment issue. Swapped the tires left and right, raised the pressure a bit, problem solved.
Other than that, Michelin never let me down.
