Update: Bought the LTX's. Got a great deal at Sears Online. They were discontinuing the LTX's and got a set of four for like $625... great deal. Love the tires.
I'm right at 150K miles.
Just an update: So the radio power kept failing and the clicking kept getting worse and finally my battery light came on, so I tested it. It was the alternator. Replaced that myself and the radio-power failing and clicking went away... it's no longer losing power...
Weird... my Michelin Cross Terrains were great BOTH sets I had. Sounds like some of you had issues. My OEM set when I bought my 2004 ST new lasted 70K miles. Replaced them with the same set of tires for about $700 - $750 if I recall (my local Goodyear tire service shop had to special order them...

I have a 2004 2WD Sport Trac with 97,000 miles on it. Recently the parking brake light has been staying as I drive. It usually goes off, but will come back on when I have to brake hard. It was stay on for a while and then go back off. It's never done this before.
I always use my parking...
