Make up my mind on tires...

Hey guys I live in the Northeast and looking for some all seasons. I never thought it was going to be a big deal to buy new tires for my 07 Camry SE 4cyn 60k...That's why I always turn to TOYOTA NATION After cruising the web I think I narrowed the search down to 3 tires. To avoid more clutter in my mind. Please comment on tires listed: TOYO VERSADO LXII - YOKOHAMA ENVIGOR - Conti Extreme
Contact DWS. Any feed back would be great... Dropping a G note on tires to find out there very loud and reduce my mpg is not cool!!

G Note? Those tires should cost you $500 at most.

I like Michelins.

Just an FYI. I replaced the OEM Michelins on my 07 XLE with Cooper CS4's last fall. They were a reasonably priced tire for a V rated all season tire and had a good rating in the snow when compared to the Michelins. That snow rating is something to consider when driving in my area or for Rhode Island winters. They are a bit noisy when compared to the Michelins, but I haven't noticed any decrease in mileage. I feel the grip is better when cornering, but then again the XLE is far from a sports car. I paid around $600 out the door from Pep Boys.

+100
I recomend Pirelli P4 four season tires, 225/55/17.
They great on snow too, had chance to test them past winter.
tread wear is exelent even for TX concreate roads,they are 80K rated, of course you not gonna get all 80K, but I got 25k on them and 50% of tread still left.
Like them much better than stock michelins and Yoko avid touring.

Tires should cost you around $500, you get your tires installed, should be 15-$25 each tire MAX which includes balancing. You don't need an alignment.

I don't know about your wheel size, I bought those Yokohamas for $600 something for 18".

I bought Continental DWS. They are quiet and the ride is comfortable. They also handle well in rain and snow. I mean my wife is from NC and we're currently in the N. VA area and those tires made her feel comfortable and confident to drive in the snow that we had this past year.
