Most of us have either the Metzler 880 or Avon Venom. My Metzler was $81 delivered. If the price on the Michelin includes mounting/balancing ($21 plus $9 for a new tube), than that's a good deal. If not, I'd keep shopping! I have a few hundred miles on my Metzler and it is a HUGE handling improvement over the old Bridgestone.
