I have BF Goodrich Comp T/A VR4s and they are a very good all-season tire. They have been discontinued I believe, but many places still stock them so you can find very good deals on them. Treadwear is great, you're looking at about 40-50k mile treadlife easily. Ride is also very nice and comfortable, and handling is good as well.
If you would rather have a newer more high-tech tire I hear the BFG Traction T/As are also very good. I believe they replaced the Comp T/As.
Of the tires that you listed, I have heard the most positive things about the Continental ContiExtremeContact. I probably would have gotten those if they came in the size I was looking for, which they didn't, so I went with the BFG Comp T/A VR4s instead.
2000 Ford Contour SVT, black, bone stock.

Yeah, I think I'm going to get 4 KDWS's this weekend, but I'm jumping up to the 225/50 tire.
I saw the Traction T/A's on Tirerack and had no idea what they were. I haven't seen any advertisements for them yet. I own Comp T/A's VR4's on my Camaro and love them.

Tires.com offers free shipping, don't forget that in your pricing!
Tirerack.com is still cheaper atleast for the continentals in my tire size.

We don't need real sonw tires here in the columbus area, it doesn't snow like it does in B.C. Plus I don't want to invest the money in studded snow tires, which tear up our roads and driveways.
