Default Michelin tires

Indoors due to heavy rain, I'm thinkin its time for tires.
Anyone use Michelin tires on Softails?
I've got an 09 FXSTC - front is MH90-21, Rear is 200/55R17
Where's the best place to get em?

I'm using Michelin Commander II's, thus far I like them.. still breaking them in though. I bought them through RevZilla (a trusted Google site), got both front and rear for like $275, and they arrived at my door in like 2 days time out of PA.
