Help me choose :p

Since Im in the market for new tires, I want to get some suggestions or pros/cons on some that are in my options list.

size 225/45r18

1. Michelin Primacy MXM4
2. General Gmax AS03
3. Contintental DW
4. Continental DWS

I dont know too much about tires, so Im looking for something with a good treadlife and a decent tread design. Im leaning towards the gmax and conti dws most...so wanted to pick your brains :)

you mean these...I think the G-max had close to the same traction dry, but hands down better if there is one drop of rain. These corner on the awesome side, big fun.

Continental DWS. Handling - excellent wet or dry. They are wearing beautifully - I've got about 22K on them and the D-W-S wear indicators are all present and accounted for. The ones I have run a little stiff - they have a very high weight rating - but I need that for some of my highway hauling. I am completely satisfied with these tires.

I ran these 6 months ago in 215/55R/16 and ended up returning them.
They had a harmonic noise in the 50-55mph range that I was not about to live with. Tried different air pressures to no avale. So much for all the reviews.....
The harmonics were not in the Firstone OEM tires nor in the Michelins I replaced with.

P.S.
The Tire Rack deal is a real loser if you have to return the tires for any reason.
Never again ...Sorry Tire Rack.
