Pirelli or Michelin ??
I just changed the tires on my Sl55 from the Pirelli P Zero Rosso to the Michelin Pilot Sport. Was this a good move? They are not the PS2.

Just got them put on.
The only noticable difference is that the ride feels "harder". I haven't pushed them yet as I want to break them in first. Any comments are appreciated though.

Drive normally for a few miles. Tires have a substance on them that preserves the rubber for shipping. Until that slippery substance wears off, drive carefully/normally.
Personally, I like the PS2's over the Rosso's because the Pirelli's are known to lose their shape.

Bridgestones
Personally, I really like Bridgestone. I got the RE050s which are the only ones qualified for derestriction with the AMG 19's. Not that I go that fast, but I do have to say that the ride is quiet and quite pleasant even with the 19's. Quite sticky. No squeal yet.
