Default Tire Feedback/Opinions for 06 A8

Hello everyone, I am trying to decide on a set of tires and I would like some feedback and suggestions base on experiences. I bought the car with Continental Pro Contacts and loved them. I replaced the wheels and tires in October with 255/35/20 Falken 452's which i was not too happy with. they lasted about 17k.

I am now in the market for some new tires (265-35-20) and I am looking at the Falken Azenis PT 722 (40k), Nitto NT 555 Extreme Performance, Continental Extreme Contact DWS (50k) and the Pirrelli P-zero Nero.

Thanks

Have heard the P-zero's are pretty noisy but never owned a set.

The DWS is a GREAT tire.
My last A8 had the DW because we don't really have "winter" in the South.
The DW is even better than the DWS in my opinion.
Very quiet, very agile and grippy as all get out without being too agressive.

Thanks I am leaning towards the DWS or DW not sure yet since the last set of Continental I had was very good and the mileage warranty is 50k. I had an alignment done and replaced up control arms and the Falkens still went pretty fast
