Tires are indeed funny in that one man's favorite tire is the least favorite on someone else's list. It all comes down to experimentation and the confidence they give the rider.
I've ridden on some Dunlop's I thought were OK, never ridden on a Bridgestone I liked, never ridden on a Michelin I didn't like, the Metzler's I had were ok, but didn't last for beans, and the Pirelli's I'm riding on now are pretty good but not as confidence inspiring to me in the wet as the Michelins. Not sure yet how long they will last, but from a riding perspective I would buy them again, but would prefer Michelins if I can find them in the sizes I need. Never tried Shinko's. Haven't tried any Continental's in years.
