Basically only new Peugeots and Opel were using Michelin (some Peugeots were also with Pirelli, like Volver, Ogryzek).
I think one of the reasons is that Pirelli got very good sales work and tactics in the Baltic area. Also price / tyre are lower and that interests many privateers. And of course Pirelli IS competitive tyre in the ice/snow events.
