I ride Michelin Axials on my main bike and am quite happy. I'm too superstitious to mention the word that refers to a sudden unwanted depressurization but I'll repeat that I'm quite happy.
As far as ride goes my other road bike has (middle quality) sew-ups and I think the Michelins ride every bit as well. The only clear advantage of the tubs is that they take real high pressure and as a result will roll just about forever if I'm tired and need a coast.
