Continental or Michelin Tires

Has anyone used the Continental All Weather DWS tires on a 911 - 997? My tirms are 18" and I have 40 profile tires now.
I ask because, although the current tires on the car are OK for another 5,000 miles, I do not want to put high performance summer type tires on the car. I prefer All Season tires.

If no one has used these tires on their 911, what about a Michelin tire that is similar in handling, or better, than the Continental DWS and is All Season.

I am asking to tap any good or bad experiences; not just go to Tire Rack or Costco and have an All Season installed that may or may not be compatible with this vehicle.

Thank you,

cai

I run the Conti's as a winter tire (temps consistently below 45 degrees F) and Michelin PSS in the warmer months. You really ought to consider two sets for summer/winter driving.

They are fine as as tires. Nothing special. You do drive a sports car though, why limit the car to all season tires? Pss is surprisingly good in rain and light snow, as well as fast driving and track duty.

I had the Bridgestone Potenza all season on my car. I was pretty happy with those.

That being said, I just put on Michelin Pilot super sports.
