Default 205/55 16's - Pirelli P-Zero Nero M&S or Toyo Proxes 4?

I tried searching, didn't find a clear winner. Seem to have equal ratings on the site I visited, but the Pirelli's are a bit more $.

Pirelli P-Zero Nero M&S - 400-AA-A
Toyo Proxes 4 - 300-AA-A - REINFORCED

I like the fact Toyo's are reinforced... but would the Pirelli's really last longer? The extra $ would be worth it then.

I'm running a 1.8TQMS.

Default I've got both (Pzero Nero on A4 and Conti Extreme Contact on A6) and I prefer the Contis...

They're quieter and seem to bite better in the snow.

Default I have Pzero Nero M+S, they work great, really quiet, great grip. personally i didn't like the.

continental tires that came on my car. i dunno about the Conti Extremes. but i do think the Pzero's are good. smooth tires. but tire wear isn't that great. soft tires.

What about the Kumho ASX's? They came second in Tirerack's test, just behind the Nero's.

I've driven someone else's 330Xi with the ASX tires on it. I thought they were noisy.
