Have to disagree, since it does matter what vehicle, conditions and use. Michelin used to be the gold standard, but technology and time caught them up.

We were very happy that our GLK350 came with the Pirelli Scorpions since buyers that got the Continentals uniformly complained of high wear and noise. I have Michelins on a W202 and Yokohamas on a W201 and I find the Yokohamas quieter overall.
