Default Continental SportContact 5P?

Buyin new tires for my OEM wheels and most likely going for 245/35 and 275/30 based on recommendations here.

It seems most members here advocate either Michelin Pilot Super Sport or Continental DWs as the tire of choice. The DWs are not available here in Sweden so I was wondering if anyone is knowledgable about the SportContact 5P? I´ve seen that it is available in the US, but at a considerably higher price than the MPSS or CDW.

Here it is actually slightly cheaper than the MPSS, so not sure which is the better choice?

The Conti SportContact 5P are great tires on the wet and on the dry the only drawback is they wear very quickly. The SuperSport is a good alternative as it will last longer.
