I'm running the factory Bridgestones, this is my first experience with this brand and they are incredibly smooth and seem to have good grip. I'm exploring the car carefully so I have yet to push it in a corner as hard as I pushed my 986 running on Michelin pilots. Compared to the Michelin tires they seem very nice and offer a savings upon replacement. However, in cleaning my wheels I noticed one front took some amount of weight to balance. To me that is where Michelin shines, they usually are delivered very round and typically require small weight additions. Lastly, my tires have nitrogen in them and I have read on here that said technology is just a gimmick. All I can say is so far the tires have not budged one bit on retained PSI, I don't know what to make of that or whether my experience with the tires is impacted by the fill.
