I hate the DWS and the DWS06. I hated the DW. But this particular Conti is Good Stuff
Colder temps don't make the *good* newer summer tires, the ones that now don't warn you to stay off them until 20 degrees, worse than all-seasons in cool weather, it's not like 15 years ago when summer tires turned into undrivable rocks below 40 degrees. The PS4S and Conti are both friendly sub-40 in the damp. You won't find anybody winning index at an autocross on all-seasons unless it's snowing, and that person will lose to the guy who brought snow tires anyway, because all-seasons are actually no-seasons and suck equally in all conditions making life a boring gray blah experience that you're better off just not living at all

This is great info, thank you. As stated in original post, I'm not too concerned with wet handling since it rarely sees any rain, but cold temps are a whole other story. Today it was about 15 degrees heading to work so something that can handle sub freezing is a necessity. Knowing most can handle it gives me some peace of mind.
