Best reasonably priced all season tires

Hey guys was looking at the continental dws06. Ran the Dws on my 335 and liked them. Are their many other options out there? I've got the staggered setup on my 11 535 so 275/35/19 and 245/40/19. Those are about the only ones I've found. It just rains to much around here for me to justify going back to a full summer tire. And prefer the all season anyhow better mileage as well. Let me know if I'm missing something.

DWS are the best, but depending on where you get them they can be pricy. On my last car I managed to get a set of Toyo Extenza HP, 45k mile warranty, and a set of 20 inch size cost me $525 installed for the set.

You do know that summer tires are generally better in the dry and rain than all season. Summer tire = 3 season tire
all season = 4 season tire where you trade of some dry and wet performance for cold weather grip and snow performance

As poster before me already said, my personal experience with (ultra) high performance summer tires on wet is that they are superior to all season tires handling in wet.

Now this could just be coincidence as most all season tires I had were OEM. As for better mileage, no doubt, you'll get more out of all season tire. Either choice is compromise really, just depends what you value more, handling and precision, or longer life span.
