I switched to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ last summer due to the excellent reviews. The A/S version should have longer treadwear than the straight up Pilot Sports since I don't want to change rubber every two seasons.
The Tirerack's test gives the Pirelli P Zero All seasons a slight edge.

I've had Continentals and Michelins on my MB's and I prefer Michelin. Better wear ability, quieter, and feel more responsive to my driving and road conditions.

What's your mileage on these so far, and what are your impressions?
I just had the factory Conti ProContacts on, and replaced them with ControlContact Sports. Conti apparently made this line exclusively for Discount Tire (aka America's Tire), and it is based on their DWS tire, albeit less "snow" bias and more rain/dry bias. It's got a 550 treadwear and is marketed as a "Grand Touring" tire with some "sport" feel to it.
These bite well, feel sharp on turn in, and road compliance feels good so far, if not a bit smoother in ride feel than the ProContact ...but admittedly with less than 100 miles on them, I clearly don't want to pronounce judgment just yet other than so far so good![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Conti PureContact on mine. When I picked up the car the dealer had replaced one of the tires their transport damaged with one. I researched a little and replaced the other ones with the same thing. They seem a little louder than the ProContacts they replaced, but are wearing well, and inclement weather traction is impressive for a long-life grand touring all season.
I am normally also a Nokian WR type tire guy, but I wanted something quieter.
