I wouldn ' t get pirellis ever . It ' s a personal preference with no scientific data to back it up other than the set on my motorcycle were abysmal . I have used the pilot super sports and the dunlop sport max on my previous car . If you don ' t mind shelling out the money and could care less how long tires last the super sports are great . Mine were shot after 10 k miles though . My R came with the contis and I ' m happy with them . They are not loud , handle well , and are still a top notch sport tire . I would definitely consider buying them again . I have 5100 miles on them so far with no issues . They handle twisties as well as I could want for aggressive street driving . Keep in mind contis and pilot super sports are made in Germany if that makes any difference to you . In my other car experience Bridgestone makes an amazing sport tire . I have always had wear issues with them as well , but 95 % of that can be attributed to my driving style .
