Exact same tires, but MANY different grades of tires within each brand. Same with Michelin, just a brand , but many grades within the brand.  These four nrands are made right here in OKLAHOMA. Continental is made in CHINA.For the money, comparing the exact same tire within the Goodyear, Dunlop, Kelly lines; Kelly is the better value. Talk to a dealer about how you use the car, what you expect of the tires (speed rating, mileage, wear life, load) and take make an informed decision.  As stated above, his Pirelli gave awesome traction but will not last 30,000 miles. This is what they were designed for. A soft tire with AWESOME traction, soft wears out fast. A tire designed for 60,000 miles means harder rubber compound, less rolling resistance, better gas mileage. ALL tires are a compromise on some aspect, you need to decide what points are important for you.</blockquote>
