Default Tire recommendation for '04 1.8tq ultrasport?..

What tire do you guys recommend? and where to buy?
I like my continentals. I've gotten 45kmiles on them and its time to replace. I can't find local shops that carry continentals. LA area (eastside). Thanks.

Default I've had Dunlop 9090, Toyo T1S and Goodyear F1GSD3...

and I'll buy another set of the Goodyears for sure. I got them from Tirerack.com.

Dunlops came on the car and lasted 32K miles.
Toyo's lasted less than 25K, got really loud and wore unevenly on the insides even though I had an alignment and rotated regularly.

Default Michelin Pilot Sport A/S...however, if you're happy with the

ContiSport Contact 2 tires loaded with the UltraSport and you were able to squeeze 45K miles on it I would purchase the same.

I was shopping for Conti tires and local tire dealers could obtain them from the manufacturer. However, I decided to settle for Michelin tires because my local Costco gave a good price that included free rotation, flat repair and nitrogen air for the useable life of the tire.
