tyre advice

[Indie]

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?

I would buy the Yoko since they are a better deal. With tires, the better
known brands such as Pirelli and Goodyear charge extra for their tires
since they spend millions on advertising such as the Goodyear Blimp. The
lesser known brands don't waste hardly any money on advertising.
