Have a Honda IT-R which came with standard Potenza's 195-55/15 and need to
upgrade to either Yokohama 205-50/15 or Pirelli P7 195-55/15.

Any advice? They roughly wear out the same I've been told - however the
Yoko are $60 cheaper - does that mean they are an inferior product compared
to the P7s?

You stated sizes and not models. For instance there are a few Yokohamas
models to choose from like AVS, AVID, Parada, etc. Though there is only one
P7 and PZero. You have to take into consideration rating and wear. If
price were not an issue, I'd go with Nitto 555s.
