Michelin and Conti N-spec winter tire conjectures (981)

Not that I need another set already, but this cold snap caused me to research what's presently being offered. Two years ago only Michelin PA4s were available as N-spec, but now Continentals are available, too. I didn't take notice of specific sizes. Tire Rack doesn't have much review/test information yet for either tire, so I did a search and found a German site, www.testberichte.de* that has a compilation of various publications' reviews, a couple of which have direct comparisons of the two. It seems the Michelins are quite good, and have excellent dry characteristics, but might have some aquaplaning effect. I can attest to their very satisfactory dry performance: fairly crisp steering response and braking. On the other hand, the Contis could be better for snow, but are somewhat greasy on dry pavement.
