Question BF Goodrich G-Force or Michelin Primacy MXV4

I have to decide which tires to buy for my 2002 UL. Each set of tires have strengths and weaknesses. The Z rated Goodrich tires handle well, won't last near as long, have higher rolling resistance, and are slightly noisier.

The Michelins give a harder ride (over bumps, pot holes, etc.), will last much longer, won't handle as well, has low rolling resistance, and are supposed to be quiet.

I have driven with both sets on. The tires are noticeably different. Your opinions please.

Default Drove on both

Had the BF Goodrich tires on for a while. Had them removed yesterday, and the Michelins put on yesterday.
