I ran Pirellis on my Mazda back in the 90s and finally swore I would never buy them again. They cupped and started thumping like crazy at about 10k miles. When the second set started thumping, too, I bought a set of Michelins and have stuck with them ever since.

Maybe Pirelli have cleaned up their act since then, but I'm not going to bet $700 to find out. I've never had a set of Michelins that weren't superb.

So, even though I can't answer your question directly, I can say that I would not get these tires, based on my 20-year-old bad experiences. Maybe someone with more recent, better experience will throw something in.
