Default michelin tires

After doing some research I've narrowed down the search to the bridgestone potenza RE050A Pole Position, michelin pilot sport A/S, and michelin pilot sport exalto A/S. Has anyone had any experience with the michelins? Supposedly the Y rated pilot sport is better than H rated exaltos. But is it much better to warrant the extra $25ea on tirerack? Just wanna hear some reviews, thanks. Oh and I'm more concerned about the wet/winter weather handling.

Get the pole position. I have them on my G35 and they are better than the michelins. I have not run a set on my A4 as yet but I plan get a set when I need new rubber. If you run them in the snow they are great. I have heard some mixed reviews about the michelins... The wear rating is better on the pole positions from what I know as well...

Michelin is great, but over rated. There are many other not as well known brands that perform equally and cost less. Kuhmo is one for example. Bridgestone's are great too.

I drive on like "Nexens" Or some ****, and there the best tires ever. I love the tread, perfect for all weather, low profile-ish and look fantastic!

I prefer Bridgestone over Michelin, M's are a bit overrated and the last set I had didn’t feel very stable after the first year (26Kmiles)I usually use BFG myself, even my 93 probe felt like an indy car with the g-force t/a on it... right untill i busted a spring from cornering to hard on stock suspension hahah.
