Best Tires Pirelli or Michelin??

I don't have any experience with that particular Pirelli brand, but I have had a couple sets of Pirelli tires (P7's and P700's) in the past. The impression I have about Pirelli is that their tires work relatively well in the rainy/slippery condition than other performance-oriented tires. I also think they're noisier, though. Do they have the Michelin Pilot Sports in your size?
tire prefs
i've had pirellis on my last M3 and they were good... but that's about it... just good.
personally, a little overpriced.. noisier and wore really fast. i switched back to michelin pilot sports...
on my current M3, i have continental contisport for my winter rims the standard OEM flat silver...
my spring/summer config will be back to the chromes with new set of mich pilot sports... i personally love them.. had them on my older 325 and 328 and i've been happy with them the whole time... great stick, good even wear.. durable enough (mileage wise) and not too unreasonable price wise.

Go to the tire rack and read actual reviews. http://www.tirerack.com/index.jsp
I have Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 XL in
225/40 YR18's and think they are incredible. Brand new so we will see after 10 or 15,000 if I'm still impressed or not.

I all depends on what your doing with your car... if you want to just have them on there to go fast and not worry about the speed and your tires at the same time.. get what ever matches the speed you wish... if your in for handeling... I'd go for Kumhos... (I've been through some autox's with a few sets and the side wall tracktion and flex is almost down right perfect.. ) If you want something that is gonne feel right and give you good tracktion... go with the P-zero's..
