I cannot agree with you more.. a set of good tyres is very
important for road safety. However, no one tyre or tyre brand can
claim to be best. Each have their strength and weakness.. Choosing
a set of tyres is a balancing act.. price point, dry performance,
wet performance, noise, thread wear, rolling resistance, steering
and tracking performance, driving style, suspension setup, car
weight.. etc. Ultimately, tyre choice is a personal one.
Even F1 drivers need different sets of tyres for different
conditions, and fitting F1 tyres on your car.. may not necessarily
be a good decision. 
Well having said the above, I like conti tyres.. if I can afford a
BMW645, I'll have the ContiSportContact 2.
