I have 3 porsches, drive them fairly aggressively on mountain roads and get about 10K miles out of rear tires and go through 2 rears for 1 front. In short, I go through lots of tires. My best find for price and performance is the Hankook V12 evo. Half the price of michelin and as good or better hold, wet or dry and they last a bit longer. 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
