Default BFG Traction TA - vs - ContiExtremeContact

The BFG is a high all-season performance tire, and the Continental is an ultra-high all-season tire. This is for my Accord V6 coupe. I need something that can drive well through snow, rain, and perform pretty well in dry weather. I don't plan on autocrossing or anything, but I do enjoy spirited driving from time to time. Which tire do you guys recommend? These both have about similar ratings, both best sellers at TR.com, and are at the same price point.

Thanks,
-Brian.

I've heard nothing but good things about the extreme contacts...especially with regard to snow/wet traction for an ultra performance tire. If it were me, I'd probably go with the contis...

Default On my second set

I have had two sets of Conti's. Better than dB2 in the snow and cheaper. Not quite as good in the dry, but just barely.

Don't know anything about BFG except that the ones I had years ago wore out like crazy fast.
