  sorry i'm not qualified to comment... but these 2 tyres seem to have a vast difference in terms of thread density...

  Ya, you are right, the GIII should be better in the dry, cos more rubber contact; and P7000 should be better in the wet, cos more threads for draining water away...

  Bridgestone tyres are less lasting than Pirelli.
  My vote will go to Pirelli

  same feeling here, tends to lean towards the P7000, GIII will be second choice probably

  Go for the Pirelli Dragon. Newer model than P7000 which I believe they are slowly phasing out.

  Maybe you can consifer Falken ST115, althought a bit old in design but same price range and I think the grip is better than the dragon or the C, not too noisy and quite comfortable on a 17''.

  again? this guy has been promoting this particular tyre in almost every tyre thread. I swear he is a dealer in the tyre. well price ain't everything buddy, neither is tyre thread alone. the construction and the design process difference in a michelin n a hankook tyre goes beyond just tyre threads alone. talking about tyre thread n compound alone is a "on surface" look at it.
