Tire: Nexen N5000 or Falken ZE912 or Continental Extreme Contact

I'm ready to replace my tires. Does anyone have any information about these three tires? Nexen N5000 - Falken ZE912 - Continental Extreme Contact. There is limited information online about them. Which would you choose?

I sell tires, the Falkens wear extremely quickly, I' know nothing about the Nexen, but LOVE the Contis.

I have some Nexen CP641's and they ride great. I have no complaints.
No clue about how they compare to the N5000's or any other tire though.

Nexen is a budget tire. Falkens handle decent but wear fast. Spend the extra cash and get the Conti. You wont regret it.

I got the Nexen 5000 tires in 215-55-16. There a little harder than I like, but are wearing fine, got 10,000 on them and they still look new!
