Tire recommedations?

Time for new rubber on the 97 9000 CS with 16 inch Aero wheels and SAAB Sport (Aero) Suspension.
Previously had Michelin MX4 Greens, nice but harsh in the last 1/3rd of their life, and now way too expensive. Besides, I'm boycotting things French (for political reasons not to be discussed here), I only boycott the best I suppose.
Have been running Dunlop Sport A2s all season tires and have been happy with them, but they wear fast.
Current issue is a loud road noise that could be front wheel bearings (new ball joints, rotors and pads went in today, replacing 90,000 mile ugly rotors, but the noise remains). So before I spring for two $270 each bearings, maybe its the tires I need anyway as the Dunlops are almost at the wearbars. Maybe the noise is in the tires, so who has a good all season tire that works well in snow and is relatively cheap? Leaning towards Continental Contacts, but will trust your advice based on your real world experience. Thanks in advance.
