Why All Season tires at this time of a year?. I would go with summer tires.

I just replaced my factory tires at 16K. I went with the Michelin Pilot Super Sport. I absolutely love this tire so far.

Conti DWS have great winter traction but its soft sidewalks are prompt to pothole damage.

Those are both very good choices, and the deciding factor should be performance in the dry vs. performance in the snow. They both have very good handling, ride, and noise characteristics. The Michelin is a step above in the performance aspect, though. Its performance is as close as you can get to a summer tire in something all-season. The ultimate grip level is very high and the handling/cornering is a step above the Goodyear. The sacrifice for its awesome stats as a performance tire, though, are that it is just mediocre (at best) in terms of grip in the snow.

I am running GY F1 All Season and drive a STi with Pilot Sport AS3 back to back.
The performance difference is very close.
I would choose GY F1 for its all season ability.

I also changed my OEM tires at 19k miles to Michelin Pilot Super Sport and LOVE them.
