2IS tire recommendations
Hey guys!
Need some help on some tire recommendations. I live in Dallas tx, so looking for a tire that does well in dry or wet conditions, as it does rain here every so often. It does also ice mainly, some snow days around here. I've been recommended the Conti DWS06 and the Dunlop signature hp, but I heard the DWS looks pretty ugly on the 2IS, so I wanted something that also looked pretty aggressive and sporty. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks guys!

Look into those. The DWS adds all season capability that you don't need.

I've herd some good things about the Michalin PS A/S 3 tires. They might not be the best for hard driving but it's a good all season tire. Should be able to provide decent life with a treadwear rating of 500.

Another happy owner of the original Continental DWS here. Other than losing one to a pothole last winter, they've been terrific in all seasons. Biggest surprise was in snow, where they were nearly as grippy as the dedicated Pirelli Snowsport winter tires that I've been running for quite a few years.

The best tires on the market are made by Michelin.

I don't think the OP needs all season tires. He only needs wet and dry performance. All season performs worst in the wet and dry compared to summer tires.
Here's the truth: "All-season" doesn't mean the tire has great performance in all seasons. It means that the tire is a compromise—the designer traded wet grip to gain some mobility in snow, give drivers tires that could provide adequate year-round performance, and save them the trouble of changing their tires before and after the winter.
But "some mobility in snow" is not the same thing as "good grip in snow." The snow traction of all-season tires varies from great to almost none. And an all-season tire has less damp-road grip than an otherwise equal summer tire from the same manufacturer. So winter is the only season when an all-season tire offers more traction than a summer tire. If you live where it never snows, the three-season regular tire always holds the traction advantage.

When I read through Tire Rack tire buying guide, I changed my decision from Pilot Super Sports to Primacy MXM4s both from Michelin was because of the fact that I do a lot of highway driving to commute to work and they recommend an all-season over the summer because of the better comfort, noise, and treadwear. Otherwise, the Pilot Super Sports fill the role of good dry and wet traction with the grip and responsiveness that I wanted out of a tire.
The Tire Rack link is here
The MXM4s was a good compromise over the PSS, though the more expensive option.
