Default Best Tires for the Zcar?

I have been leaning towards the Michelin Pilots as replacement tires for my Zcar. The major stumbling block for me is that , I believe, Michelin is a French company. I have very mixed feelings about giving the French anything but a one finger salute.
Hope the pic doesn't offend anyone, if it does I apologize.

I use Toyos; I am not sure how you are going to take this, but did you know that the French own Nissan

I know that Renault, I believe, has a large share of the company. That is a good point, and I do like brie, I guess my chagrin is more directed at the French leaders.

Bridgestone S03's have served me extremely well during my time of ownership. I would recommend these tires to anyone! I will be sure to get these to replace my stock pilot sports.

Actually my Michelin Pilot Sport A/S are made in the U.S.A I put about 1000miles on it. Great in snow and better traction in the dry then OEMs. All this with 400thread wear,ZR rated.

Funny, I got S-03's as soon as I got my car to replace the crappy stock RE040's. Now, I like the S-03's but I am kind of sorry I didn't spend a few extra bucks to get the Pilot Sports. I think they are a better tire. In fact, if I was buying tires today I'd get the Pilot Sport All Seasons.

Well, I put on Dunlop SP9000s. I think they are a great handling tire, and priced right. The front ones were made in Japan, the rears were made in Germany. The Dunlops GT Qualifiers on my truck come from the good old USA. Funny world.
