I figured since the DWS's were warranted for 50K miles, they would be harder, longer lasting tires, sacrificing performance and traction for mileage and snow usage. I expect a sacrifice in handling/traction going from a summer tire (OEM Bridgestone's) to ANY all season tire. I did notice a slight drop in performance, but nothing too concerning. But, I did like the fact that I was able to drive in light snow with little trouble. However, I did expect better mileage out of them. So, really I'm looking for a decent all season tire that will get me home in the snow if I get caught out in it, decent handling/traction, and fairly decent mileage. schellingr - I believe those are summer tires. Really looking for all seasons. Thanks for the input folks! Keep it coming!

I had the continentals DWS and their best feature IMO is the 540AA tread wear. Keep in mind I was not doing anything crazy with it as far as SCCA or any other track event. But for daily commute they are superb and they ride a bit quieter than factory.
Although I have to say, the sidewalls are softer than most tires so the car will handle (slower reaction to steering inputs) a bit slower than before. If you want longevity then the DWS is the way to go if you want responsiveness then Michelin should do the trick.
