All seasons are always a compromise bro. Just so happens I put a set of those Contis on my friends Saab SE. Stock tires was 225/50/16. I talked her into 205/55/16s (more sidewall to absorb our nasty MI roads). I've driven the car...and its a smooth and quiet riding tire, and the tread looks a lot more winter worthy than the Dunlop A2s I ran last winter w/out any problems.
At that price..I don't see how you can go wrong...
But actually..what I really would do..is order them on 15" steelies for the winter...say 205/55/15 ($69) from tirerack. Comes mounted and balanced. Then all winter keep watching until you see some nice summer rubber go up on special. And then you'll have the best of both worlds.
I did just that...Dunlop A2s on steelies...worked great, and for crappy winter cold driving I enjoyed the extra sidewall cushion. And this might sound funny...but the longer I kept the black steeleis on...the more ricers I saw sporting black steelies too...w88rd...
