Michelin

These tires are the cream of the crop, so to speak. They are known as the best tires, hands down, and generally blow the competition away when it comes to performance metrics. They are renowned for having superior tread wear if inflated according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, and their tire and wheel protection warranty is second to none.

They are easily the most expensive, but that is the result of being a tire that provides tread a lot longer than less expensive brands, which means the tire lasts longer. If you do a lot of driving, if the driving you do is over tougher terrain (dirt or gravel roads), or you have a very high-end vehicle, Michelin should be your choice.

They rival Michelin in value and the company takes pride in specializing in all-season and high-performance tires. They also have several truck lines that have a superb reputation in the industry. The difference-maker with Continental tires and Michelin can be the tire and wheel warranties combined with the price, which make Continentals a high-end tire with great company backing, but a bit more affordable than Michelins.

Pirelli

Pirelli tires are high-performance tires that provide supererior grip on wet and dry roads. They lack in efficiency, which is the trade-off for better grip as it pertains to tread wear. Pirelli is actively working, however, to come up with high-performance tires with tread wear similar to its competitors. They also offer multiple types of tires for other non-high performance vehicles.
