Help me decide on tires....

....please!

I've read so any reviews but still can't make up my mind between Bridgestone S-04's and Michelin PSS. This will be my first time without runflats on my 550 (M-Sport w/oem 19's) so I know I'm in for a treat but I can't decide between these 2 tires and know I'm at the point of overthinking it!! I know I'd get the PSS's if price was equal but are they worth the $300 premium?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated..

I usually stick with Michelin's and a lot of people on the forums loves the PSS. I haven't had PSS before but from what I've read, they're the best

I have had s04 pole position, PSS in the past but I finally decided to stick with AS3 (AS3 plus) now. More than enough capable tire in any situation. I wouldn't go to any other tire as AS3plus is the perfect sweet spot.

Never had PSS, but they are considered the best in class by many.
I'm on my 3rd set of S-04, though the other 2 sets weren't on BMW.

Fantastic tire, incredible grip, great wet traction, precise, super quiet and comfortable. However it wears really, and I mean really fast.

From what I read, PSS is a bit, but not much better in terms of wear (Michelin has 300 while Bridgestone has 280 wear rating), so my logic was that it perhaps wasn't worth the premium price. I don't think you can go with either one of these.
