Default which would have a 'better' ride: contiextremecontact or pzero M+S?

i have the contiextremecontacts on my '02 sport but i'm really not impressed with them in the wet. i seem to slide all over when it's really pouring.

anyway, maybe that's just because they're old, and i do like the ride, so i'm willing to consider them.

but, which gives a better ride and treadlife?

Default Here you go! I love my P-Zero Nero M&S at 23,000 miles; still quiet, fine handling tire

to decide between The Pirelli's and the Michelin's.

Never driven them in the snow... Lotta rain, though; check the Tire Rack data, though
