Anyone running BF Goodrich Commercial TAs?

I'm in need of tires and just about choked when I saw the price of the Michelins I'm currently running ($159 each). The BF Goodrich Commercial TAs are $105 each and are "rated" at 50k miles.

I don't put a lot of faith in mileage ratings because, like fuel mileage, that is under ideal conditions that I'll probably never see. I'm just wondering if there is a good alternative to the Michelins - I like 'em, but $45 difference in price per tire is kinda hard to swallow....

Any opinions? I buy all my tires from Discount Tire, and the BFGs are the only other ones they stock that I'm seriously considering right now.
