I've had good and bad experiences with Michelin, but they have been decent for the most part - especially with my local distributor.
I had Michelin Primacy MXV4's (225/60R16 98H) tires on the Grand Marquis, which were also the factory tires. They were pretty decent, but as they aged over time, they started to dry rot.
The best Michelin tires I ever had were the Latitude Cross (265/70R16 112H) on the Mitsubishi Pajero. Great traction (wet, dry and off-road), long tread life, great comfort and still quiet despute the tread pattern. I had three sets of those, but unfortunately the last time I was due for tires, they were discontinued and I had to go with Primacy SUV's.
I have Michelin Latitude Sport 3's (255/60R17 106V) on the GMC Envoy, which have been pretty decent in terms of traction (wet and dry), road comfort and noise. They got 18,760 miles on them with lots of tread left. Only downside is they are a softer compound than the Pirelli Scorpion Verde's they replaced.
