Opinions on Continental Extreme Contact Tires or better??

[msvx95]

I'm looking to replace my Pirelli PZero Nero MS treads soon right around the time I replace my struts, but for those who have these tires Continental Extreme Contact DWS, what do you think of them?
I read plenty of reviews on Discount tire direct's website and it received 4-1/2 out of 5 stars. It's an all season high performance tire and I'm looking for all season and a QUIET tire. I didn't like my Pirelli's one bit and they were noisy!
I know there are plenty of reviews, but is there something better/cheaper or is this the one? It's $103.00 for this particular tire I see online.
