new tires: conti\'s vs. potenza\'s
I'm at 21k miles and I'm ready to replace my oem conti's (after some harrowing driving in the heavy rain). I'd like to get some high performance all-season tires and it seems the best choices are the Continental ContiExtremeContact for $92 at tirerack and the Bridgestone Potenza RE950 for $157. If the bridgestones will really last 40k miles I guess they seem the better choice, unless the all-season conti's will wear better (but the have no tread life warranty). So, has anyone gone either of these routes? Or maybe gone for something different and/or better? Thanks for any help...
