Default Michelin Pilot SX?

Does anyone know if these are good tires for everyday street use? And is $300 for a pair of 295/35/18 a good price?

They are used with less than a thousand miles on them. Do you know if these tires are any good?

I ran Michelin pilots they are great for the street but I couldn't use them at the track at all because they wouldn't hook. It was like racing on ice.
I guess the tire compound is just too hard.
