Tires - Pirelli's on a T@B? Nokian eNTYRE All-Season Radial Tire - 205/55R16 94H ?

I plan on buying new tires for my new, used T@B. The tire size 205 /55R16 does not allow for a trailer tire so I will get the highest rated weight and speed available. Saw some nice Pirelli tires, around $105 each. Funny to put sports car tires on a T@B but if they are good quality it makes sense. I have generally used Michelin tires on my cars and have always been very happy with them.  

This tire was rated well on Amazon, has a high speed rating, and weight capacity, though I have never heard of the manufacturer before. Sounds like they are put on sports cars.

Anyone ever heard of them before? They are cheaper than the Pirelli's, by about $70 for two. That would not be my deciding factor, though if they are well made, have a good reputation I can use the $70 savings.

Nokian is a Finnish make, famous for fantastic snow tires. Soon to be opening a factory in TN from what I just read on their website.
