best tires for a 2004 acura tl

Shopping for some tires for my 2004 acura tl. Looking for an all season tire but with performance and great in the rain and snow.

Top contenders are as follows (in no particular order):
  • CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06
  • MICHELIN PILOT SPORT A/S 3+
  • MICHELIN PREMIER A/S
  • PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON PLUS

FWIW, I had the Pirelli's on my wife's former GTI and they were awesome; I'm putting them on my TL as soon as the current set of rubber wears out.

Round, rubber, with tread.

Please search...plenty of active threads in the past few months that cover your exact question.

General G-Max AS-05's! Put them on just last week. The tires I've been waiting for! Take it from this old timer here who's owned an '04 Sport (the unofficial Type-S for "04/5/6) since brand new, 13½ years. You won't do better! Check the reviews for yourself, and don't let their low price fool you.

Assuming your reading comprehension was still asleep this morning. Don't think those will do so well in the snow as the OP stated was a requirement.

Then get this one.

The Continental ExtremeContact DWS Been Replaced By The Continental ControlContact Sport AS

either way, the DWS has been reportedly discontinued.

Where did you get this information from? I just checked the Continental web site and it makes no mention of the "ControlContact Sport AS", meanwhile the ExtremeContact DWS 06 is still front and center as being represented as a current offering.

Check the gmail inbox picture I have posted here. That was a response from Continental. The DW is going away. I would assume that includes DWS.

Ahhh, thanks for the clarification; if I understand their lineup correctly, the DW and the DWS are very different product lines. Given the DWS 06 is a relatively new tire, I'm guessing it will be their premier All-Season tire for some time.

If that's true, then why does Continental's website show the contrary?
