Need an opinion on new summer tires

I need a set of tires for my 2010 S. I found these at someplace I haven't done business with before, but the price is great:

Has anybody purchased from them and has anybody used these tires. I am a bit suspicious as Tire Rack (seems) to have same tire for a lot more money and they are usually competitive:

My other choice are these:

That's it, opinions welcome.

Look the Conti DW's. Great reviews and a lot cheaper. they are also pretty light tires taking away rotating mass and making your car quicker. I was going to get a set but bought new rims and a set of track tires. When my Dunlop RF- Street/rain tires wear out I am going witht he Conti's.

Conti DW seem to get nothing but awesome user reviews here. Personally I was happy with my TireRack experience. Alex is great. I went with Yoko S.Drives and I am very happy with them.

I'm very happy with my Conti DW tires as well. Hopefully they maintain their comfort and low noise level as they wear. I've ordered from the tire rack several times as well, can't go wrong with them. I personally wouldn't order from that site just to save a few $$$.

Well after over researching tires [like I do on everything] I decided to go with the conti Extreme DW based on advice from a lot of sources. Nerxt fall [if I like them] I'll pick up a set of the DWS to get through the winter.

Conti DWs are the way to go, nice grip, nice water traction, quiet and inexpensive.
