Confused about what to get

I recently purchased some 17 inch Work Meister wheels
I have been running stock 16 inch wheels with Bridgestone S03 225/50/16 and was thouroughly impressed
Now I need
235/45/17 front
255/40/17 rear
but S03s are not available in Greece at these sizes

What do you suggest (no track, only road)
Bridgestone RE50A
Michelin Pilot Sport
Other?

Many thanks!!!

The BMW M3's come with Connie (18") or Pilots (19") stock. Most of the BMW guys like the Connies a lot better (and they are cheaper). So, you might see if you can pick up some Continental ContiSportContact 2's. I rode in a late model NSX using these on the track and they were surprisingly very grippy.

Thanks Mahjik
Suprisingly here in Greece there is not much difference in price !
I have heard lots of good works about the Contis, but on tirerack tests & reviews they have not been fairing so well
