Default Michelins or Dunlops?

Just took delivery on my silver '02 1.8TQS. The car has Michelins and feels great, no complaints. What do you think about the difference (if any) between the Dunlops and the Michelins?

I wnated the Michelins because I thought that the Dunlops were the 9000's, but they are the dunlop sp sport 9090's, both the tires are about the same price on tirerack so I decided to give them a try and like them very much. Not disappointed at all, I would recommend that you give them a try.

Both are new tires for each maker. I would think they offer similar perfomance.

Mine came with Dunlops and I am very pleased. Tireack.com has specs and reviews of both as well as Yokohama and Bridgestone. The pattern of the SP9090 is designed for and handles wet better but are comparable to the others on dry and will last longer. The Yoko's are probably the best but are not offered.

Just picked up my ride - silver '02, 3.0, AT, Sport. It came with Dunlops. Any reason to be concerned about driving with Dunlops in the rain? I'm a Seattlite.

Dunlop 9090's have been OEM for BMW.
