Time for new tires on our 2009 Cayenne S. Current tires are the OE 255/55R18 Continental 4x4 Contact with about 30k miles. I narrowed down my search on TireRack, but I figured I would get some feedback from Rennlist member experience. Since we do get some snow in Albuquerque, I'm looking for a good All Season tire. I don't want to do the Summer and Winter tire thing.
Here are the tires I'm considering - thanks in advance for your feedback:
Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season (Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season) 109V 600 A A $255
Continental ExtremeContact DWS (Ultra High Performance All-Season) 109W 540 A A $215
Michelin Latitude Tour HP NO Porsche (Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season) 109V 440 A A $333
Pirelli Scorpion Zero NO Porsche (Street/Sport Truck All-Season) 109V 400 A A $242
Continental CrossContact LX Sport (Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season) 109V 480 A A $196

Sticking with the Continental 4x4 Contact is Plan B for me. I guess it's a case of the grass is always greener...I just wanted to see if anybody had a strong opinion on any of the tire options I listed. Below are the 4x4 Contact stats from TireRack for comparison.
Continental 4x4 Contact N1 Porsche (Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season) 109V 360 A A $247

The Continental ExtremeContact DWS is the best tire I've ever had on our Cayenne. I now run these as my summer tires, and run Michelin Latitude Alpins as my winter tires. My Cayenne came from the factory with Continental SportContact 4x4 tires, and I like the DWS much better.

I've had both the Continental ExtremeContact DWS and Pirelli Scorpion Zero, as well as Michelin Diamaris (an older model tire no longer offered). The Scorpion's are great in snow and off-road, but in my opinion are too aggressive for smooth everyday use. The DWS are a better compromise--OK in snow and good in everyday driving. The Diamaris were a much better than either of those in the dry and wet, but were totally useless in the snow.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I decided to try the Continental Extreme Contact DWS, but ran in to backorder issues in my size. I ended up going with the Michelin Latitutde Tour HP through Discount Tire. They price matched Costco at $317. A bit more than I wanted to spend on tires, but oh well. Initial impressions are great, quite and smooth. I'll update the post again with more feedback once we get a few more miles on the new Michelins.

I ran at least two sets of those on my previous '05 CS with no complaints. Ok, the only complaint was that they were rarely in stock when I had a flat that couldn't be fixed.
