Because it's CT, I still have a need to switch to winter tires (non-staggered on my set of 17's ASA) but I can drive the all seasons deeper into the season before switching.

The Conti's have been great, they have terrific wet weather performance and provide a good ride when the temps drop (unlike my old Pilot Sports summer tires, which turned rock hard when the temps dropped below 40).

Because of the mild winter, I never switched to winter tires this season ... I got away with it.
You should have gone with the DW. They drive just as far into the winter as the DWS, ride well, are quiet, and are even better in the wet. They are better in every way, except for in actual snow.
