Ok so what I have found is that I can't get the conti's anywhere. Discount Tire suggested a Yokohama YK-HTX tire that apparently is exclusive to them and came out last year and has little to no reviews.
The last time I had yoko's were on a car, they were terrible. Of course reading the negative reviews, most seem to fall on their avid brand of tire, which this HTX is not, but not surprisingly was the crappy one on my car.
Then we have the michelins, and I keep hearing good and bad things, so I'm a bit worried about premature rotting and cracking.
I've heard some decent things about the bridgestone dueler alenzas.
Anyone have any opinion whatsoever? (aside from soundguy...thank you :) )
