Two completely different tires. One is a summer only tire while the other is an all season. Both are excellent tires in their respective category. You need to decide what you are looking for, summer or all season.

The Conti DWS isn't as performance oriented in dry weather as the hankook, but offers good traction on all weather conditions. I have them on my C63 and they've been good in the rain and while not as good as the V12's on dry roads, they are still a good tire. They also have a good ride.

depends on the weather
since they are completely different tires it's tough to compare .... if you are going to seen any snow or temps below 40 degrees for extended periods the Hankook is not the tire to have.
If temps will never drop below 45 degrees the Hankook would be a better choice
If temps will never drop below 45 degrees the Hankook would be a better choice

2007 SLK 350
I have summer tires on my SLK350, and have been advised to drive them year-round. I understand that they will not have good traction in the snow, but what about driving with them when it just cold? Many days below 32 degrees. What will be the results if I leave the tires (which have many miles remaining on them) on and continue to drive them into the winter?
