I am getting new tires in the next week or so, and my choices (given what I've seen and the shops I have spoken to) more or less come to this (NOTE: I am looking for all-season, some wet driving, no tracking, not likely snow, keeping the noise factor down, urban driving, 18"):

1) Michelin Pilot sport AS
2) Toyo T1R
3) Pirelli PZero Nero

So far I have been told that the Michein is noisey and not noisey; that the Pirelli has the nicest, most quiet ride, but is an inconsistent tire; that the Toyo is the best buy; that the Michelins are over-priced but lasts longest etc etc etc.

I realize there is a certain amount of subjectivity in all this, but head-to-head, and objectively, I would be interested in anything anyone can contribute. And yes, I have done some searching....

Thanks in advance......

Have a look at Tirerack.com .. they have some excellent write ups from owners, try finding oweners who have the same car and search on what they have for tyres. I'm looking at Bridgestone Potenza Pole Positions, they seem to rate high for noise, comfort, grip and tread life.

For price and performance I would go for the Toyo TR 1- it is what I am running and I am very happy with the choice

I think the Nero would be best choice of the 3 if mixed climate driving is necessary. If price is also factored in, the Toyo may get a slight edge.

I found Michelin Pilot sport AS to be noisy after 5K miles. I now have Toyos.
