Which tyres?

[Chunk49]

Hi All

Just put the 996 in for a service and I need new tyres all round. The garage is recommending Pirelli as they say they are the best/grippiest (i.e. softer compound). I had always heard that the Michelin's were the best all round tyre as between grippyness, wear/longevity and performance in the wet.

What's the general consensus? Any recommendations for the actual tyre name/model greatly appreciated!

Also, am tempted to order online and have delivered to the garage as I think the garage is putting a bit of a mark-up on based on £600 fitted for the Pirellis.

Thanks!
