Tire advise needed

[shosound]

I was wondering if anyone here has tried either of these 2 tires before, I live in MN and need a decent all-season tire cause the SHO is my daily/year-round driver.

Dunlop SP Sport A2 Plus H(speed rating) $330

Continental ContiExtremeContact Blackwall V $400

I currently have H rated tires(I know, I know), but I rarely exceed 100mph, since I avoid Tickets like the plague. I am trying to keep the total price around $350 or less for 4 tires, but am also realistic. Both of these have nice stiff sidewalls, a nessesity for the way I drive. If anyone can tellme anything about the how these tires perform/last, it would be much appreciated. Or if anyone has alternative suggestions I would appreciate them also.

Stay awway from the Dunlop A2's.
Dunlop has great tires but the A2's aways feather.
Which causes vibration and excessive tire noise.
I'm not the only one to experience this.

I ran the Contis and they were a decent tire for the money...smooth, quiet with good treadwear...

my sho used to have the dunlops when my brother owned it. they were rather loud and the performance wasn't anything to write home about. when they wore out i got a set of z-rated bf goodrich traction t/a's. i like them much better. my dad has them on his passat and he loves them as well. they weren't too pricey when we bought them but i believe the price may have gone up since then... just something to check out.

Falken ZIEX ZE-512

I work at a tire shop and I got them HIGHLY discounted, Not only do they have alot of tread, They are sticky and soft, Handle very well in the dry and good on wet surfaces. And they can take a nice 2600 RPM launch with almost no tire spin.

I like them, And I came from a set of Expensive Z rated pirellis
