That time again

Well the Battlewings are beginning to square off on the back noticeably so it's time to start looking for replacements.
I've read through the good posts on this forum about tyres and have a list of those I'm considering as my replacements.
In no real order then-
Conti TKC80 (deal at �130 pair, posted)
Bridgestone TW41/42 (just over �130)
Metzeler Enduro 3 (�127)
Metzeler Tourance (�140)

I ride primarily road; however I do like to go trotting across fields and the like given a chance, and this set of tyres will have to deal with the snow come Jan/feb.
I've used the Siracs before so probably won't go back, and I've used the Tourances on my Caponord and wasn't hugely impressed.
If anyone has experiences of the tyres listed, please let me know what you thought, and their lifespan.
Cheers
