Which All Seasons do you recommend on the stock 19s?

Another vote for the Conti DWS. I keep trying to figure out what the catch is. No tire has any business being that good in the dry and wet and that good in the snow and with such high a wear rating and decent noise and ride characteristics. I'm a firm believe that there is always a trade off, but I haven't found it.
Yes, it won't handle as well as a dedicated summer tire or stop in mush as well as a dedicated snow tire, but it will do at least 90% as well as each and for my style of driving and the weather conditions I see, I'll take it. I'm picking up my car tomorrow in NJ and it has summer tires on it. I'll be placing my order for DWS's this week.
In other news, let me know if anyone is interested in lightly used stock Continentals.

I have not found a better tire than DWS for California, with a few trips a year into the Sierras & Reno. An all weather tire is definitely the best choice for all around usage. I am not going to change tires/wheels everytime I go the Sierras in the winter.

Ha! I picked up my car yesterday and, even though I bought it from Miami, guess what it showed up with. That's right, 7/32nd tread Continental DWS's. Look who just saved $1,100 in tires, shipping and mounting and balancing! Someone in Miami got some pretty awful advice on tire selection, and I came out over $1k richer due to their mistake! Feeling like I won the lotto today.
