Thanks, that is what I am leaning towards as well. Costco runs the $70 off coupon about every 10 weeks. I just priced out the Primacy MXV4 on their site; with tax and standard installation (which includes road hazard), it comes out to $589.
I was originally against the idea of the H-rated Primacy MXV4 since it was an OE fitment for Nissan, but after seeing that Consumer Reports tested this exact size and the test results were phenomenal, I am comfortable with buying the Primacy MXV4 in this size.

Those are actually the predecessor to the current ComforTred Tourings, but that will probably my second choice. Sears has a tendency to run periodic fire sales on GY tires, so I would not hesitate to recommend a set of GY ComfortTred Tourings if you can get them for under $500 installed.

It does. I think this size became more popular ever since the last-gen Altima 4-cyls started using this size.
When I had to buy them for my Taurus they were very expensive, too.
