I'd get the Michelin MXT Reinforced instead of MX4 RainForce simply because
they have the same tread pattern and MXT has a lot higher load range (99T,
1709 lbs @ 50psi).  The price should be about the same ($75 - $85).

 I currently have 205/70 Michelin MX4 RainForce tires which are
fantastic.  They are great in the snow, excellent in the rain and the
quietest tire yet.  I would highly recommend them, they are worth the
extra money.  FYI Michelin does sell a MX4 in addition to the MX4
RainForce, it has a slightly different tread pattern, but it's easy to
tell the difference, the RainForce's say "RainForce" in 2" letters on
the sidewall.
