Unless your actually out of tread depth, below the wear bars and running slicks, I would not worry about tires until fall, being wary if we have a thunderstorm or such.

No first had knowledge, but as an avid observer... The TR test results for the conti are not bad. They have actually improved the tire since they introduced it years ago from what I can tell.

I have had both the ASXs and HTR+s they outscored in CR tests and beating them now impresses me. If I had to have a 4 season tire, the conti would be high on the list.
I am out of tread on the inner shoulders of the tires. I've ran the same tires all year long since I've bought the car, and don't wanna spoil myself with great summer tires until I can afford to do it on a regular basis.

The continentals I linked matched or outperformed the 2 you mentioned in every category on the comparison Cody linked, if my assumption of the ranking system is correct
