recommendation for tires

Hi,

please help me decide which tires to choose between the following:

Falken ze 914

Continental premium contact

Pirelli P1

Toyo CF2

I do like the continental, but maybe i'm missing something.
they need to be silent and comfortable.

thanks.

I recommend continental dws if you can find some. I think tire rack still has them in stock. Best tires I've driven on so far.

For a good set of tires without spending too much, Conti is a good choice. The continental dws06 should be a lot better than the original dws.

I've had Mich, Pirelli P7, and Conti Pc's on my BMW. The mich were crap, the P7's were sketchy (grabbed the groves on the highway) lasted about 6 months. The Continentals were stickier, lasted over 2 years and decreased road noise by at least 15%.. Just picked up a 2007 C230 Sport Sedan and can't wait to need tires so I can put Conti's on it.. Continental,,, absolutely

Nevermind. For your vehicle go with the Continental DWS.
