My DWS's will never see snow in FL, but they grip much better in the rain than the Potenzas. We get a lot of rain in FL. They're softer in corners than the Potenzas but I don't really corner like that as a rule so no biggie for me.
I recommend the DWS for any occasion. A good all around tire.
As far as life of the tire....my Potenzas were 5 years old with about 15,000 miles on them when I changed them out, they still had usable tread. I gave them to the tire shop guys. Tire life depends entirely on usage. I usually dry rot the sidewalls before the tread wears out on my cars, I'm assuming the same will be true on the Z.
