I got some feedback - the continental DW was discontinued. It was replaced by the ExtremeContact Sport.
This is considered a summer tire, and falls under the "Max" category (one level under "extreme")
According to the rack the Pirelli PZ4 and Michelin PS4S both were quieter and got better mileage.
This was on a 430i for testing.
The Continental SSR (I think OEM) are almost 100% more money per tire it's crazy. And that is only a 'grand touring' tire. Must be the RFT that adds to the cost.
Switching to UHP tires, a step under "Max" they liked the BF Gforce comp2, this was ahead of the others in wet traction and noise. Bridgestone RE760 was a close second followed by Dunlop DZ102 and finally Yokohama S Drive.
That test was on a F30.
Since the Michelin isn't available in BMW OEM sizes it's out of the running. And price wise the Max tires and UHP tires are the same.
I can't seem to find a direct comparison between the Max and UHP which is sort of exactly what I want to know.
Will see if I get more info on noise.
