Depends what you want.
For a good all rounder, Michelin is hard to beat. Energy's have good grip,
and they're hard wearing.

The turanzas are quite a hard tread, which means they're reasonably well
wearing, but at the cost of noise and not quite so good grip until they've
warmed up.
SP Sports have fairly good grip, but wear fast.

I've not got any experience of the Pirellis though.

What you know about tyres could be written the head of a pin, fancy a carrot

Sorry, I was forgetting.....

<Fred mode>

I got these dead good cheapo Korean things in the other day. Best tyres
in the world, they are, and only 20 quid a corner. That's what you want,
mate.

Well done, Fred.

You can't win an argument based on your supposedly superior knowledge of
tyres, so you just start throwing around some pathetic, childish insults
which totally discredit your claims to be the owner of an MOT station /
tyre fitting business.
