Default Which one of these tyres will you choose?

If you were having to choose between these two tyres which one would you choose?
  • Bridgestone Potenza RE050
  • Michelin Pilot Primacy HP


The Michelin seems to have a much better overal rating at tyrereviews.co.uk

Well, you're talking Apples and Oranges here. The Bridgestones you list are a Max Performance summer tire. The Michelins are a Grand Touring summer tire. Also the Michelins are available in a limited number of sizes. But, it all boils down to what you want in a tire. If performance is more important to than wear and a soft ride go with a Performance Tire. If wear and a cushy ride is more important go with a Grand Touring Tire. In the end it's up to you.
