Default Replacement for OEM Michelin MXV4 S8

My new ES-350 is the best car I've owned, but it is shod with the worst tires I've experienced. Anyone else feel the same way about the Michelins? What is a good replacement in 215/55-17 to up the handling and performance?

I have thought about replacing mine with a set of Yokohoma's when time comes for replacement.
The Avid v4s has a beefy bead around the lip of the rim. It looks better and also provides just a little more protection from curb rash. We installed a set on our Maxima GLE a few months back. They are kinda pricey but whats 20 dollars a tire? I would much rather spend a little extra for a better product.
