Default P-Zero Nero M&S or Pilot Sport A/S
the Michelin is better in the bad weather and offers better ride quality ... Pirelli is better in the dry and costs less

Default I used the Pirellis and was very happy with them. Better then stocks in dry, good in rain and
was fine in the snow for Chicago.

If you drive the car harder in dry weather then get the Pirellis. If you drive the same all the time then get the Michelin.

Although personally I recomend the Pirellis.

Default What about the ContiExtreme Contact?
I have those on right now. They worked great in the winter, and as a daily drive too.

Although, they squeel like a pig when doing an autox.
