I have been surveying the right tyres for my car for the past few months. Due to the size, the options are limited if priorities are more toward handling and all-rounder. I understand it may be difficult to have someone compare all the tyres as mentioned below. However, if there is anyone who has compared any 2 of these tyres (or more), I would appreciate your experience.

Goodyear Assurance Triplemax
Continental Ultracontact UC6
Continental ComfortContact CC6
Continental ContiPremiumContact 5
Continental ContiMaxContact MC5
I have done a bit of survey on some of the Continental tyres and it's almost impossible to individually rate these tyres. From Continental website, the CPC5 and MC5 are said to be good in handling. On other car forums, the CPC5 was said to be cheap and poor quality while the MC5 was said to be great in handling but only in the first 10,000 km before the performance deteriorates quickly with the tyres showing screeching. In summary, both MC5 and CPC5 were not really recommended by those who tried.
The UC6 and CC6 are rather new tyres. UC6 is more toward handling and CC6 more toward comfort and quietness. So far initial reviews from current users especially the UC6 were encouraging.
The Goodyear Assurance Triplemax was proven to be an all-rounder tyre with above average handling for this range. Currently it's my most preferred tyre since having owned the predecessor (Assurance Fuelmax), I can attest to the handling characteristics of tyre. The steering is sharp with the tyre and cornering feels stable and solid.
If there is anyone has compared the Goodyear Assurance Triplemax to the Continental UC6 I would appreciate your thoughts.
