Default Michelin or Pirelli, or (fill in your choise).

Well this is yet another one of those boring "help me to choose" posts!
Its for my TT-r V6.

In my case I need a tire thats hold up for some miles, at least 15000, and have good cornering grip/sideway stability, even if I DONT drive the car so hard that the ESP flash.
It have to have the neccesary ZR marking.
It will never see a track nor 100mph in rain.
It doesent have to be "budget", it simply have to be "good for the money" even if its an expensive suggest!

Ive been looking at Pirelli PZero (recently on the car), Goodyear F1, Continental Sport Contact, but the difficult/confusing part of it is that most manufactors show up 2-3-4 simular models,,
HELP!
Its a djungle, what is your suggest?

THanks in advance.

Best R Olle B

Default One to consider....

The BFG KDW 2. They're a little cheaper than most, but still good as far as performance goes. I've had them for three summers now and they've proven to be really good for me. Handling is good in the dry and wet. They supposedly last longer than others too. I don't remember off hand how many miles I have on mine...it's probably somewhere between 15K-18K. And there's still a decent amount of tread left. I'd buy them again. Check out tirerack's reviews on them

Default I got 35k out of my original Mich.PS1 and now 25k out of Kumho MX.......w/ hard driving

the Michelins were a far superior tire AND lasted longer with the same driving. I think they're worth the extra money, and a better tire than the Pirelli.
