Which is the better tire??
Bridgestone Potenza SO2 or Michelin Pilot SX MXX3. I can make up my mind. Prices are about the same. I have no idea what to get!!

Bridgestone by far. Better ride, wet traction, dry etc etc. I assume your looking at the 255's in which the Michelin is a Porsche OEM tire. Not bad dry but its older and sort of lacks in other categories. Buy they B-Stone, you'll really like them

I'm not sure if they are imported in USA, but here in Italy we usually consider the Pirelli PZero Corsa the best choice for performances, especially on dry, but they last a little less than normal street tyres....

MXX3's had -wonderful- feel and feedback. The only street tire I have driven that had comparable feel is the BFG G-Force KD.
MXX3 is a pretty old design though. I think it's been discontinued in most sizes. In terms of overall performance and wet and dry grip, I think most of the new tires are now better.
