I had a set of Michelin ATX/AS (I believe) on my 06 cummins ram. The best tires I have ever owned. I put 45000 on them and they still had 1/2 tread remaining. The handle great on pavement, wet or dry and do superb in slush and compacted snow going over the mountain passes. I commuter 200 miles a day and over Washington's largest pass. I wouldn't put any other tires on for that type of driving. They weren't that great in deeper snow though (over 6") Costco had them for 190 mounted and balanced (265/75/17)

I place right much faith in customer reviews and ratings. You can view these ratings and reviews on www.tirerack.com . And right now the Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor tires are the best thing since sliced bread. And they will save you $100 to $150 when comparing them to a Michelin set of four.

Plus, the ratings on the Goodyear Silent Armor are way higher than the Michelin $159 tire you linked to.

I think the Michelins take the cake. They maybe slightly expensive, but you will get a lot of mileage out of them
