I put Kinforest KF550 on my daily drive Gen F GTS as a recommendation from a well respected mate. Absolutely great economy performance tyre.

Pirelli what? The Dragons have a pretty poor rep.

Our car's having a service today (last in-warranty service!) and I'm about 90% sure it'll be getting tyres. Expecting a 'phone call soon, to ask approval for whatever the mechanic's tyre-supplier has &/or recommends. I did say I was thinking of the PS4's or PS4S's, but I'm not sure whether the extra cost for the more performancey S translates into an extra functionality from a safety POV (while better-half & I can afford it I'd much rather but really good tyres on the car she'll be in - but with respect to safety, she doesn't drive hard in any way shape or form).

I run Pirelli P7 as I only need a decent grippy touring tyre on my V6. But they are good tyres so I'm sure there's a Pirelli something worth looking at. They last me 4 years and virtually never let go unless I do something reaaaaalllly stupid or stomp it on gravel.

I'm running the Pirelli Dragonsports on my VE.

They've done ~22k kms now......wearing well, good grip wet or dry and noise level is pretty good also.

Would get them again.

Ron is interested in Bridgestone versus Michelin and if that's the only two I had to choose from the Michelin would win hands down for me.

In saying that I'm a big Pirelli fan and love the P Zeros but if I was in the market for tyres at this moment in time I would still probably go for the PS4S over them and definitely if they were better priced.

The slightly lesser PS4 is also a great tyre and I would also go it over the Bridgestone any day but I'd toss a coin over it being better than the Pirelli.

I've never tried the Pirelli Dragon Sport but I've heard good and bad about them.

Disclaimer: My opinion is based on the fact I don't buy or care about tyres for their long lasting wear properties, just how well they grip.
