If you have some good continentals you may want to finish out with matching contintals. They are also good tires. I imagine you will eventually come over to hankook. they are that good.
I don't know why but it seems that the Handkook V12 are not as competitive in Canada. I might be wrong but they don't seem to be cheaper than Michelin here.
Right now I am looking at approximatly 600$-700$ difference between:
2 front continental in the front;
or selecting 4 new tires.
The only thing is that I don't want to end up with bad tires for the next 3-4 years... which is not worth 600$-700$...
Thanks for the feedback
