Default Specific Tire Question - advice guys

Hey guys. It's well beyond the time for replacing my tires on my 06 Touring Coupe. I need some advice. I did a search and came up with some helpful info, but I wanted some up to date advice other than the link with the CR stats from 2004.

Specifically, does anyone run any of the following:

Continental ContiExtreme Contacts (All Season)
Kuhmo Ecsta LX Platinum Plus (All Season)
Yokohama S-Drive (UHP)
Bridgestone RE760 (UHP)

What I'm interested in hearing about are:

- Road noise on each
- Performance on each (specifically, anyone running A/S's? - how much of a drop is it)
- Wet/Dry traction on each

I know there are many threads out there, but I didn't really find anything specifically on these tires. If it exists, my apologies ahead of time for not finding it.

Thanks guys!

A customer of mine has an E46 with the RE760 tires. They are a great tire. Road noise was not bad at all, performance was on par with Michelin PS2 from what I saw, although I didn't toss it around. It rained when I picked his car up, and the wet traction was excellent in the few mile drive I had. I usually default to Michelin PS2s. The Michelin AVS (PS1?) isn't bad either (OEM G35, Viper).

Cool. Thanks Scott. I think I am leaning toward the RE760's. TireRack did a few tests on them recently and they seemed to do okay. Any other opinions?
