I'm running them in 225/45R17 size on the stock Performance Pack wheels. I swapped them over from my previous car since they were only a few months old. I swapped them a couple of days after taking delivery of the car, so can't really compare them to the stock rubber or anything else on this platform.
In comparison to the Michelin Pilot Sport AS3's I ran before them on my old car, though, they felt a bit less responsive and a bit less grippy both dry and wet, but they had MUCH improved ride quality and road noise. In Tire Rack's testing, they found almost no difference in lap time between the two, IIRC.
Compared to the Continental DWS's I ran before those, the Michelin's were night and day better in terms of grip and about the same for ride and road noise, so I'd say the Pirelli's are probably a touch better than the Continentals.
FWIW, I'll be switching back to Michelin's (the Pilot Sport All Season 4) when it's time for new rubber to get a bit more responsive feel.
