Pirelli tyres - which one?

[goddo]

I hope someone here can give me some good advice.
Bentley Continental GT.
I am looking to change my tyres and I see there are two types of Pirelli on offer, both Bentley approved.
One is the Pirelli PZero and the other is Rosso Asimetrico.
The prices are almost identical but what is the main difference and which should I choose?
OR....Is there another, better, make of tyre available? I know these things are subjective but other opinions may help me.

Pirelli are not as good as Michelin PSS, which i did in the GTC. The new Mich P4 would be better still. Pirelli lack grip and arent as good in the wet.

I've had a couple of sets of P-Zeros and they were an excellent tyre and on par with tyres like the Conti 5Ps and close to the PSS in my opinion. But don't get sucked into the P-Zero Rosso or P-Zero Nero versions. They are definitely inferior.

Pirelli have a marketing agreement with Bentley, Jaguar and Aston martin to 'Recommend' Pirelli tyres as the preferred tyres. Even to the point of embossing a 'J' or 'B' on the tyre. They are not the best for the cars with many other options offering better performance, DB levels etc.

On my XKR I switched over to Toyo R1's then on to Pilot Super Sports. I changed from Pirelli to PSS on my DB9 and as soon as I need new tyres on my Conti GT I will be using PSS again.

I even had them fitted to the wifes Octavia VRs.
