Kevin,

The Michelins will likely last longer but offer a little less performance than the Bridgestones. ALso the Michelins will give smoother ride and less tire noise though the difference may be negligble. I have run the Michelins and the Yokohama AVS Sports on my 750iL and there the difference is a huge. The AVS Sport is a maximum performance tire and blows away the Michelin in terms of performance, but the ride is noticably rougher and tire noise is higher. Treadlife on the AVS Sports is also about 30% less than either the Bridgestones (which I run on my M5). In most cases the Michelin is the best choice if maximum performance is not your sole purpose. The Michelins also tend to last longer.

Hope this helps!

Regards,
