My 14 Audi A6 I did Michelin AS/3 but they were expensive and were toast with less 15K miles. I switched to DWS06 and loves them. Put them on my 15 TLX as well.
On summers cracking, someone put in the word SOME & will agree with that. Been driving on OEM & replacement summer performance exclusively since 2004, Michelin, Continental, Yokohama & NITTO. Mounted on Acura, BMW, COBRA, Genesis & Porsche. Not a crack in the lot. Only downside is they wear faster than regular tires & are totally useless on snow or ice.

For the best handling, bar none it’s the Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+. These have more grip than a lot of summer tires, but the trade off is that tread life isn’t particularly good, and they’re just as bad as summer tires in the snow. For something more balanced, Continental DSW06. But since you have FWD, why is all seasons a must?
First winter on the AS3+, and as much as it pains me to agree with you, they are crap in the snow. I have them mounted on a company car, and I found out how bad they are when I had to go into an unplowed neighborhood with approx. 4in of snow on the roads. Needless to say I got stuck. I was lucky enough to be able to roll back and take a different, downhill route. With my guardian angel on my shoulder, I found a way to get back on the main, plowed road. Definitely won't put these on the TLX when I'm ready for new tires.
