Luke-

Looking for some 224/45/17 tires to mount on my 99 SVT Contour.

I think I have it down to three choices:

AVON M550 (W rated)
Kumho Ecsta ASX (W rated)
Yokohama AVID H4S (H rated)

I am coming from BFG KDWS 16".
I am willing to give up some handling.
I want the ride to get a lot quieter.
Approx the same ride quality or a tad softer.
More snow traction would be nice.
I don't need better than an H speed rating the way I drive.

How would you compare these three? I have the read the customer reviews on your website.

Thanks
Brian
