Default Tire question

Is anyone running Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position RFT. The last set of tires I bought was Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus ZP and its about to be tire time again. I'm at 32,400 now.
Mileage is ok but at about 25,000 I noticed the noise level increased and after about 20,000 the ride got a little rougher, still overall night and day difference between these and the goodyear OEM tires. I just wonder if the bridgestones might be better. The warranty is about 10,000 miles better and the cost is within a couple hundred bucks on four tires.
Opinions wanted. Thanks

I saw a thread on rfts this morning and the verdict was miches all the way. I'm a miches guy but not an rft guy! I currently have them on my c5 but they came with it. I don't know what I'll do when he time comes.

IMO, it will be hard to beat the overall quality and performance of the Michelins. If I were to run another set of runflats, that's what I would be putting on my car.

I just got a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE 760 sport non run flats on my vette last week, and so far I am really pleased with them
