Hi Carol,
I purchased Goodrich Traction TA's a year ago August for my 95 Continental. We got a lot of snow last winter here in Toronto, and they performed extremely well. I looked at consumer ratings for ice, snow and wet before buying them, and at the time, I was on a budget. But other tires that rated just as well that I'd also looked at (and would have bought), were Michelin MXV4, Dunlop Signature, or Goodyear Assurance Triple Tread. That last one apparently is an amazing tire as a friend of mine has them on a big car, and says they are very quiet. That's one thing about the Goodrich tires I have, a wee bit of noise-not much and you get used to it, but his are almost soundless. Also when doing the research back then I was told that H or V rated tired are best for a Continental? The other thing to mention is that I got mine at Dunn Tire in Buffalo and they use nitrogen rather than coventional air. If you can possibly get that, do it-don't even pass go. I am still amazed at how little (not at all?) I need to fill the tires. If you have Dunn Tire in PA, might be worth checking them out as they had all the different products I was looking at above, plus the nitro.
