ivtec07 - I had also considered the Yokohamas as well. Any snow experience?

I figured since the DWS's were warranted for 50K miles, they would be harder, longer lasting tires, sacrificing performance and traction for mileage and snow usage. I expect a sacrifice in handling/traction going from a summer tire (OEM Bridgestone's) to ANY all season tire. I did notice a slight drop in performance, but nothing too concerning. But, I did like the fact that I was able to drive in light snow with little trouble. However, I did expect better mileage out of them. So, really I'm looking for a decent all season tire that will get me home in the snow if I get caught out in it, decent handling/traction, and fairly decent mileage.
schellingr - I believe those are summer tires. Really looking for all seasons.

Thanks for the input folks! Keep it coming!
