Best OEM Tires?

What are the best OEM tires?

I have the Pirelli which I don't love.

I have never been a fan of Continental.

So if I were to get new tires for my stock wheels, are my only choices Michelins and Bridgstones?

ANy opinions on these tires? Which would you get?

Also, the Bridgestones are S-02a. I thought S-02 tires were replaced with the new S-03. Am i missing something?

wasn't a big fan of Conti's before but i have to say it's the quietest OEM tires for me so far & the comfort level is very high.

i have Pilot Sport Rib on my car now & the ride is pretty harsh. not as comfortable as my Conti's before.

SO-2A is not SO-2 even though SO-3 is newer. Porsche use SO-2A as OEM tire just like Pilot Sport Rib as they are specially designed for our car. at least i have never seen the Pilot Sport Rib on other cars.
