I liked the continental race king as a fast rolling trail tire, and if you were ok with something a little heavier duty, maxxis high roller 2s are a good choice for the front.
Pros: fast rolling trail tire

Conti DWS 06. Fantastic tire, helluva bang for the buck. Grippy, communicative, great in rain or dry, quiet, rides great. Running those on both my Passat, and on the wife unit's Fusion.
Pros: fantastic tire, grippy, quiet, great ride
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I am running Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 in size 235/40ZR18 95Y X on 18" Omanyt (18"x7.5" ET51 5x112) R32 rims. My speedometer off by a few - I usually cruise at 74 MPH actual speed (GPS) while my speedo and cruise is set for 77 MPH.
Pros: good customer reviews, testing performed
Cons: speedometer off by a few
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
My continentals are hands down the best tires I ever bought. They ride better than other tires with two to three times the side wall height. They also are the best handling tire I've ever driven on. Would highly recommend.
Pros: best ride, best handling
I have had the Continental DW tires for between 25-30k miles. I have nothing but high praise for my DW's. Great wet and dry grip, not very loud, I've got nearly 30k miles on them and they still have plenty of tread left... I would guess another 10k. Predictable as well. I've literally tried to break them loose in rain while driving my CC, and it's very hard to do so. I've even slammed on the brakes in medium rain to try to slide from 35-40mph, and they just gripped to a stop. I love them... my wife even appreciates how quiet they are. I will point out though that most of my driving is pretty calm...It's rare that I really push them, but I have, and they were great. I'll be buying the Conti's when I get my new R in a few weeks. Edit: Let me also point out that I use mine year round. Even in the winter they've been great. I live near Nashville, TN...not much snow, but plenty of below freezing air.
Pros: great wet/dry grip, not loud, long lasting, predictable
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 30000 km
I have run both .the Continental and Michelin you mention. I think the Continentals last longer and can take more abuse--at least they did on my STI
Pros: last longer, take abuse
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza WRX
I have been using the Continental ExtremeContact Sport Plus for 2,000 miles. They are a very pleasant-handling tire (quasi-aggressive street driving). Predictable performance on dry, wet, and snow/ice covered pavement. Turn-in/steering response is similar to the Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Spec, which I previously used for both street and autocross.
Pros: pleasant handling, predictable performance
Mileage: 2000 km
The GTI would have performed much better on the summer tires, those all-seasons really are terrible.
Pros: better performance on summer
Cons: all-seasons really terrible
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
