KUMHO WINTERCRAFT WP72 vs CONTINENTAL WINTER CONTACT TS850P

Shopping for new winter tires and had pretty much decided on Continental WinterContact TS850P. However, I noticed the Kumho Wintercraft WP72 has a similar tread pattern and is substantially cheaper (roughly $162 vs $252 per tire, Canadian).

The Kumho is also XL & V rated vs SL & H for the Conti.

Anyone with experience one or both these tires? Factors important to me are quiet ride, good dry handling and braking on ice. Wear is less important as I don't drive daily.

Here's a review / scorecard containing them both...TLDR the Conti was better...

Thanks, but that test has different models (WP52 and TS870).

Looking for real world user reviews, particularly for the Kumho WP72
