Tapper,
I just ordered 4 Continental Extreme Contact tires for my SVX. The price was $86 apiece plus shipping & installation. These tires are on back order and it looks like they will be shipped in late August or early Sept.
The other tire that finished second to them was the Yokohama AVS dB S2. I believe that this tire was $101 apiece and is in stock.
The Yokos are supposed to be slighter quieter than the Contis, but the Contis are supposed to be alot better in snow.
I chose the Contis because of the snow traction. I had experience with half worn Yokos AVS dBs (not the new S2 version)on my 92 SVX and did not like their lack of traction and handling capabilities. My 92 SVX is my daily driver to/from work, so I need snow traction.
Also, the Dunlop SP-5000 AS tires ($107/ea.) on my 97 were almost brand new last winter. They were only slightly better than the Yokos in snow and they are slightly nosier than the Yokos.
That is why I am trying the Contis. I hope they are as good as advertised.
Good Luck with your tire search.
