The OP is looking to switch to A/S since he apparently lives in a seasonally cold clime. The Conti DW is, of course, a summer tire. I'm extremely pleased with my Conti DWS 06 Ultra High Performance A/S after 15K miles.

I have run the Michelin Pilot A/S 3's on a previous car. I didn't get the claimed 45,000 miles out of them but they did help in light wintry weather. They did not give away much performance vs something like the P-zero. They are aimed more at dry and wet performance than winter performance.

The DWS 06's will not perform quite as well as the Michelin A/S's in the summer weather but should be a bit better in the wintry conditions.

I have a friend, another major car enthusiast, who just went through a tough winter on the DWS 06's and he absolutely loved them.
