Tyre Choice Bridgestone vs Michelin

[FezzaDude]

So I dont know much about tyres but im in the mine field of replacing my current ones. Its really come down to Bridgestone 225/45R17 S001 or Michelin 22545ZR17 91Y Pilot, however there is a massive price difference of £47 per tyre for the Michelin's. Any opinions or experiences of these tyres? Im kind of leaning towards the Bridgestones...any recommendations on which brand to go for?

Well I guess as most tyres are now made in China, it really doesn't matter that much.

If you can get to Costco, there is a 20% discount on 4 michelins at the moment.

Just got 4 Pilot Sport 3s 245-45-18 for £660

Apparently halfrauds are doing the same tyres with fitting at a 30% discount.
