Cant Decide: Continental Contiextreme vs. Falken ze 512 vs. Toyo Proxes T1-S

Just to let you know, the Toyo T1-S is summer only tire and the others are all-season tires. All tires are very good on the road and how much money are you willing to put down for tires?

oh sorry to mention that...225/45/17...and i know that the proxes are summer only, but if theyre really worth the money OVER either of the other two, id be willing to spend the difference, however, as always, if the difference in performance and quality isnt THAT much, then i'd settle for the cheaper tire
As for now, i havent heard much on the contiextreme, how do those compare with the falken ziex?

I have new Contis on the front and I will replace the rears soon with the same. They are a dramatic improvement over the Kumhos. Continental gets my vote. Great tire.

I almost forgot, the rumor is that Continental will stop making these tires soon because they don't make any money on them and the replacement will be a lower grade tire. If that means anything to you.
