Hi, purely from personal experience, I have found Continentals to be a softer tyre that wears quicker than Michelins.
The Michelins on my rear wheels have so far done 54,000 miles and there's still 3.5mm left.
Both are good tyres, I suppose a softer tyre will give slightly better road holding and softer ride.
