Does it rain in those 20mls? Pedestrians? Kids? Potholes? Other cars?
Decent deal for a quality tire. Good she has new tires on her Forester.
Seems about right for:
4 new tires, mount/balance, disposal fee old tires, taxes, etc…
Cooper and Yokohama are my go to mid priced tires that I really like.
General and Firestone are solid tires I wouldn’t have any worries on safety. You paid $200 out the door per tire, do you feel you paid a fair price? I just recently purchased tires through Nissan, the tires came with a 24 Month road hazard coverage and was buy 3 get the
4th tire for a $1. I walked out with taxes $607. Tire is a Yokohama 205/60/16.
The dealership happened to be the best priced in my case. Did you check with your local dealership?

Since I mentioned Amazon pricing for OPs tire, they have since updated the price and it now matches the WM price. It was $30 and change per tire. 
Perhaps someone scored a deal.

I would agree Firestone is a great "middle of the road" tire, because that is where you usually see them.

THANKS edyvw.
car. 2012 Honda Accord. tires say 0816. I THINK that means 8th week of 2016. this agrees with my records, I bought new tires in 2016. By math, those tires have 33,000 miles on them. car 61,000 original miles.
I THINK I should replace them, due to age. they are michelin pilot mxm4 or something.
question:
which Michelin tires would you suggest? i am going with Michelin.
live in Massachusetts. we get rain, ice snow. I want GREAT all season tires, price not an issue.
she drives just short trips around town. no highway.
thanks for any and all ideas
best,
Bob

I can't believe how rude everyone is being to the OP And I have only read the first page. For all intents and purposes called him stupid. Not everyone needs the last minutia on everything. IMO YMMV
If your car is an EX-L Sedan these may be worth further investigation - cost may be less on AMAZON.
I think the only real Michelin choice if you are going with one tire and want the rain, ice snow would be the CrossClimate 2.
Yes, you are 8 years old on the current. Time to replace IMO.
There are multiple other All-Weather choices now that would work well for you also. Obviously not going for long mileage but more of a time thing.
What trim level and what size currently?

Yep, CC2 would be best choice if using only one set throughout a year in MA.
Another option is Bridgestone Weatherpeak, which is proving also a really good all-weather tire. However, I would go Bridgestone only if it is considerably cheaper. They are, in general, rougher, less comfortable tires than Michelin. Still, a premier product.

THANKS edy
ordered cross climate. For a dummy like me, i feel I can't go too far wrong with Michelin. brakes and tires are important. not a problem if the car rusts or is dirty.
I recall once I inherited my Dad's Buick Park Ave. It rode and sounded awful. put on new Michelins, WORLD of difference. quiet and smooth.

I agree with others who concur that you made a really good choice with the CC2’s. I have this very tire on two vehicles which ride and handle quite differently. (‘99 Buick LeSabre and 2015 Honda CRV.). And with each vehicle, these have been very smooth and great handling tires all year long, which was the whole point of purchasing this specific tire category (All Weather) so I could avoid twice a year switchover with winter versus all seasons that so many of us in the great north have done in the past. Not sure where you got yours ordered, but I got mine at Costco because their pricing beat everyone else’s and their five-year, included Road Hazard warranty is very well regarded.
Yes I have found that Michelins over the years have cleared up a lot of ride issues that the dealer said was normal.. It was not...It was the tires..
