If these tires are the only ones that meet your budget requirements then the continental is going to suit you best in my opinion, obviously you could spend more and get a better tire from Les Schwab or Costco, BUT again every budget has its own needs, personally Ive owned a vehicle with those continentals on it and it didn’t do bad in the rain and I didn’t overly notice road noise

I have those continental tires on my car right now and they’re really good
I'm a Conti guy, they're on both our cars. Premium brand, never let me down. I've run Kumhos in the past and they were good for the price.
The best tire by far is Continental. No question. The Kumho is the only one I would even think of putting on a car.

Thanks for all the advice guys, went ahead and ordered the Continental ECS 02s, fingers crossed I’m happy with them. My biggest issue with my RS4s is that it takes about 2 runs on my favorite backroad to get enough heat in them to really stick and I don’t push my car on public roads like I used to. If I get the added benefit of making my car more daily-able that’s not a bad thing either.
Continental or bust.
I typically get the Continental dws 606+ or whatever it's called. They ride and handle as well as the Michelin Pilot Sport all seasons.
Maybe I just got lucky. I used to always get Michelin's, but my CC came with Conti (Pro Contact I think), so went for them again, and then picked another Conti that is a little sportier (not DWS06, just PureContact LS), and they have been OK. Steering feel hasn't been as good as with Michelin, but I did not experience any problems.
The Version 1 of the Conti I had on my Z06 for a while and wasn't impressed, got greasy when hot which apparently is better now and slightly sharper turn in over the PS4S.
