However, it is also that softness that, for me, made the DWS06 feel more tilted to "luxury" than "performance", also borne out by the numbers, so I did not want it for my 2 Series...but it was fine on the Audi A6. Pick your preferences and you'll know your tire choice.

Yeah, I eventually went with Conti's exclusively because of the fact that we are in the 20-30's for 5 months of the year and it rains for 6-7 months and feel they are a good compromise of quietness, handling, cold weather capability, and price. The AS3+ are definitely better responding tires in the dry but I'm willing to sacrifice that for the quietness and cold weather handling of the Conti. I grew up in Honolulu where I ran UHP's year 'round and never had to worry about winter tires, but at least now I have a reason to burn through the AS3+ as quick as possible
