What do you recommend given my requirements (listed in order of importance)

1)handling (wet & dry)
2)noise

In a summer tire I'd look at Kumho's SPT or General Exclaim UHP. In an all season the Michelin Sport A/S+ and Yoko W4S would be good choices.

Can you throw some light on differences between Michelin and Continental?
235/50 17" 95S. I'm looking for wet/dry CA weather performance. I see one twice as expensive as the other.

Also I have 235 all around. Do rear and front have to differ (225/235)?

Really depends on the model of tire you're comparing. In general, Michelin does have the better performer across the board as well as the top constructed tire. You will pay more for that and the name, however. The Conti's, I'd say, are the better of the second best. Not the worst not the best but instead somewhere in-between. Decent tires for the money.
