Here's an interesting chart I generated from survey data comparing the Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S and the Continental ContiTouring Contact (OEM). It's totally subjective consumer opinion and I don't know how many that voted have owned both tires (I have but have not voted - yet...) If this could be relied upon, it appears to say that if you don't mind a little more noise, the Goodyear (the cheaper tire) is the way to go.
