Question Bridgestone vs. Michelin

Any preference??
Mine was delivered last week with Bridgestones. Now have 250 miles and they seem ok. No vibration, reasonable ride.

I have the Michelins, at first they were like rolling on stones - hard (dealership had them at 37 PSI) since then I reduced the PSI down to 32 and have a much better ride now. However at 32 the tires started generate more road noise especial coming up and into the right rear seating area. The other thing is at 3500 miles the suspension has finally settled in to a nice comfortable ride, not so stiff anymore.
