Ask at your local bike shop what the prices are for fitting tyres you bring in, I've found after paying online prices plus the fitting and balancing charges you've not saved any money from just buying them at the shop In the first place!
Tyres are very much down to individual feel, if you're just a weekend twisties rider the older pilot powers are nice (the 2's and 3's don't come in our front tyre size!) and are pretty cheap now the newer ones are out.
I'm currently running Bridgestones new S20 on the front and T30 on the back and am liking them very much.
If you're after longevity then back to the Michelin for pilot road 2 or 3 depending on your budget! (I've not had the T30 long enough to know mileage it can do!)
