Which tyres - Pirelli's, Michelins, Bridgestone or Conti's

Generally speaking which would you stick on if you were replacing all four corners. Just about to do exactly that (on 20" Stormers) and looking for opinions/thoughts? Options being:

- Pirelli's would probably be the Scorpion Zero's;
- Michelin's would probably be the Diamaris;
- Bridgestone's would probably be the D-Sport HP; and
- Continental's would probably be the 4x4 Sport Contact.

I've always run Bridgestone Duellers on my BMW 4x4's in the past. The Conti's seem to have a reputation for quick wear???

Any thoughts/experiences/issues/help welcome Thumbs Up

Ive always found bridgestones to be a good hard wearing tyre, so i'd say bridgestones, pirelli's tend to wear the edges out too quickly, the other two i can't comment on, but i'm sure others with experience of them will be along soon, why don't you add a poll to your post for us to see the results.

Thanks guys very helpful, think I'll stay away from the Continentals. Probably coming down to the Bridgestone's (because of my previous personal experience), the Michelin's or maybe now consider the Goodyear's!!

Cheers
