Literally every tire manufacturer makes good or great tires as well as some crappy tires, though often times what one person thinks is crappy another thinks is great. That's because every feature built into a tire comes at the sacrifice of another feature. Softer rubber compounds that give great dry traction don't last very long. Long wearing tires or tires designed for best fuel economy use low rolling resistance compounds that don't give great traction. Aggressive tread patterns perform well earl, but typically get noisy later, and tires that give spirited handling jar the passengers while a smooth riding tire feels like mush in a corner. In the end you have to understand what different tires do and pick one that suits your priorities.
On the wear issue, where and how you drive, as well as dedication to regular rotations, plays more of a role in how long tires last than anything else. Lots of stop and go, turns, etc., especially in the south west where pavement mixes are heavy on stone and less tar to make them stand up to the heat will wear tires a lot faster than the upper mid west where cold weather means higher tar mix to keep the pavement softer and more flexible for the freeze/thaw cycles. Lots of highway miles makes tires last much longer too. My wife's Honda Odyssey just got 80K out of a set of tires (would have gone more if not for a puncture) and still had 7/32 tread remaining. Probably would have got to 100K.
Having been in the tire biz I almost never "sold" Michelin because rarely did I ever not find a tire that was as good or better for substantially less money. If a customer came in with their mind made up then ok, but my conversion rate was 90%+ to Continental, General (owned by Continental), or Goodyear, but I never knew what I would ultimately recommend until I pulled the size as not every tire is available in every size. On the MDX it is generally best to stick with a tire that was designed for the crossover or SUV market as tires designed for sedans don't give the performance characteristics SUV drivers want nor do they last very well.
