I'm convinced, the best tires are the ones you bought, just ask any C5 owner, he'll tell you. And with that, Continentals, of course.

Michelins are consistently rated high. I chose all season (Pilot A/S) because I drive in all seasons, and they are runflats, which I prefer.
Latest gen R/F's are so much better than the originals, that's why most performance cars these days have them as standard. If they were as awful as some people on here seem to think, that would not be the case, would it?
People here have been praising Contis, but we have Extreme Contact DWS's on the Subaru and they are noisy - they sound like all 4 wheel bearings are shot, and have done from new.
