Tires

Or tyres for our pals in the UK and other less "americanized" places........

So, getting my car (BMW 540) out of storage at the end of the month, and am looking for a set of tires to go on the new wheels I bought last fall. I need 2 different sizes:

Rear are 255/40 R17

Front are 235/45 R17

Looking for a high performance tire, and I currently have Michelin Pilot XGT Z4's on the car - looking to move up from those.

I am considering pure summer tires, but would consider high performance all season tires as well. Right now the contenders are:

Michelin Pilot PS2

Toyo Proxes T1-R

and

Fuzion ZRi

The Michelins are the most expensive, and the Fuzion (made by Bridgestone) are the least. I'm looking for good wet/dry handling and braking, and decent tread life. The tires I have on the car now have around 50,000 kms on them, and are due to be replaced, but are still safe.

The Fuzions are quite inexpensive when compared to the other two brands, but the tire shop I'm dealing with has told me they are working out very well on many high end sedans and sporty cars they are putting them on.....I kind of am uncomfortable with Bridgestone, so am tending to shy away from these right now. I am also not keen on Pirelli's, as I've had issues with those in the past when they were on my Jag. Right now the Michelin's are the tire of choice for me.

Any recommendations?
