I thought that it was settled that the 21" wheels would come wrapped in Continental Extreme Contact DW tires; that's what's listed on the "Specs and Standard Features" page over at TM.com. Recently, however, I read an article about how they've switched to Michelin Pilot Sport (probably the Pilot Sport 2) and now I see in an image from a guy who went to the LA event that some of the testers have the Michelins and some have the Continentals. So, what's it going to be? Do you have a preference? Any of you have experience with both?
I've got experience with the Michelins as I have had them on a couple of Audis including my current TT. My understanding is that they might be grippier but wear more rapidly than the Continentals.

Mods: please feel free to combine with another thread, I looked but didn't really find one that this question fit well in.
