I too had the same issues with the Michelin HP's, couldn't get rid of them soon enough - they just wouldn't wear out! I have had the GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 Asymmetric 2 on for 8 months now and very pleased. They may be a bit more expensive than some of the other options, but they ride well, are quiet and seem to be wearing very well. Watch the YOK dB - I think they have too low a speed rating for the 18" LUX to be legal.
Ride comfort and noise were the most important issues for me in tyre selection, but they handle well also. Wouldn't go near the RE050A for noise, ride and wear.
I'm enjoying the EURO so much more having got rid of those Michelin's!
