Don't quote me on this, but I am about 80% sure that the Continentals will last a good deal longer than the Michelins. The Michelins rubber is very soft, and many of us are going to have to replace them within a year and a half. The Continentals have harder rubber I believe, and will therefore last longer than the Michelins, and being in Canada, you will be glad you have the all-season tires.
