Recommend all seasons for Brooklyn-based allroad?
I need new all seasons for my '02 AR 2.7T. I live in Brooklyn, only rarely have to deal with snow and ice, and am a reasonably aggressive but not performance-obsessed driver. Looking for good tires that will survive Brooklyn potholes, can handle light slush and snow and are reasonably quiet and non-squishy. My Yokohama Advan S4s really struggled in light snow a couple of weeks ago. Have my eye on Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus and Conti Extreme Contact DWS. Many thanks in advance.

The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3 is only fair at best in snow and ice but has outstanding handling and steering response for an all-season tire. The Conti DWS has some of the best winter traction we've experience out of a UHP all-season tire but has slower steering response than most others in its category.

Slower steering response simply means that the DWS response more slowly to steering inputs. It is not a measure of the durability of tire.
The next best we've found for winter traction in this category is the Goodyear F1 Asymmetric A/S.
