Continental ExtremeContact DW vs Michelin PS2

Thoughts?

I've seen some good reviews on the Conti's, and tread wear seems to be much better.

Prices for the sizes I need are approx. $978 for the Conti's and $1438 for the PS2's. That extra cash could go towards coilovers.

PS2 !> DWS so DWS + $460 left in your pocket = no-brainer

I have the DWS on my 2008 ML63 and turning and stopping are much improved in the snow (in Chicago) over the stock Conti Cross Contacts (summer/street tires).

no more AMG
If you want coilovers, the Conti's seem like the way to go. I have the Conti DWS's and I love them, but I'm yet to read a bad review on either tire. If the PS2's were a little cheaper, I would try a set.

If I could afford PS2's they'd be on my car.
I had Extreme Contact, not DW and they howled.
I had PS2's on set of wheels I bought....ah, sweetness.
