I have had both the Pirellis and the Dunlops on my car.  I find the Dunlops
to be the ultimate tire.  Just for the record, I am running 215/45-ZR17s.
They outperform the Pirellis in any category and the wear is incredibly
light, considering their Z rating.  Also, I've heard from others (although
I didn't experience it) that the Pirellis really suck on a quattro in the
wet.  I had higher profile (factory size 215/60-15) Yokohamas before, and
they wore down incredibly quickly with any kind of aggressive driving.
