Confusing and Crazy

I was told by one person at tirerack that the Conti Extreme Contacts were better tires. Called back another day someone told me that the Pirelli PZero Nero M&S were the better choice. I have 17in. wheels and want 225/45/17 Front and 245/40/17 Rear. I was told that the Pirelli's wouldn't be in until June. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I need the tires like tomorrow and can't wait 3 months.

depends on the weather
the Conti is better in the bad / snowy / cold weather and the Pirelli is better in the dry, wet and warm


some people totally ignore the fact that I am here to answer questions almost everyday and talk to whom ever answers the phone first ... thanks for the vote of confidence
