Thoughts on Continentals new ContiExtremeContact All-Season Tires?

Has anyone tried these yet? I'm debating whether to go with these or with the Sumitomo HTR+'s to replace the summer tires on my new A4 for what is left of the never-ending winter here in Ohio. Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated!

Those tires have great UTGA treadwear/traction ratings. I've heard nothing but good things about

them but I've never driven on them.
I don't know about the Sumitomo's.

I have the new ContiExtemeContact's...been on for about 2000 miles

I live in NY so we have had quite a different variety of weather recently. The ContiExtremeContacts have performed exceptionally in all conditions (dry, rain, snow, hard cornering). They don't ever make any road noise and they have a great tread wear rating. 2000 miles is still early, but I am very happy with them. They make great all year tires.
