I have had several sets of Michelin tires on my cars over the years and they have held up better and provided a better ride than anything else. The roads in my area are sometimes not in the best condition and less expensive tires can be false economy as they don't last nearly as long. For me the incresased reliability is more than worth the additional cost.
None of the American tires I've bought held up well for the price compared to random import tires. Continental, BF Goodrich, Firestone...all had early failures like broken belts and prematurely dry cracked casings compared to the cheap import tires I bought. Daytons held up really well for me.
I only know Michelin Auto and light duty truck tires and love them, I went through 5 different sets of premium brand tires on the same car, by far and away, the Michelins were the best. Certainly in this application I would only consider new Michelin tires on the steering axle, why even assume the risk of a marginal tire for that application, plus the performance is excellent.
It's definitely worth the money to buy expensive, name brand tires. On cheaper crap I experienced a lot of chipping. It was unbelievable, like the tires were made of jell-o. No kidding. When I started using Goodyear (many sets in a row) and now - Michelin - there's no crazy chipping, compound they're made of is definitely better, they have an incredible grip and are quiet. So no doubt, if you value peace of mind and safety on the road - yes, tires are super important.
