Bridgestone tires are technologically superior in the design and tread compound

I've had Toyo tyres on both my FTO and now the Skyline and I love them. They grip really well and aren't noisy. Some people don't seem to like Toyos, but I've never had any problems and thing they're fantastic.

The Pirelli are really good, but they wear out quickly.The Michelin are expensive but have good handling and good resistance. Dunlop offers good products. Bridgestone... isn't it the tires which are broking all the time ? (Ford Expedition, etc.)

True, they aren't surable in an accident wither, after my recent accident my right left tyre in half, it was a P700 Pirelli model

I have Cooper Lifeliners right now, very very quiet and good in everything but rain. Fortunately it rains here about 5 days out of the year, and even then just a drizzle.

Bridgestone owns Firestone.

This is a loaded question since it depends on which exact tire. For instance the Bridgestone RE92 is not so good, while the S-03 is the best tire I've ever had.

All in all though I give the nod to Bridgestone.
