The "new" Michelin Krylion Carbons

Recently Michelin switched their bike tire factory to Thailand. The Krylions, which had previously been made in France are now made in thailand. I was wondering what people's experiences are with the new Thailand-made Krylions.

My experience is that they're not even half as good. The original Krylions consistently gave me 3000+ miles without a single flat. The new ones are currently averaging about 320 miles per flat (4 flats so far, and one tire was ripped all the way through the "kevlar" - and thus was tossed).

If you're no longer happy, what other tire are you trying out?
