Both are really good tires, but the DWS are definitely giving up some warm weather performance in exchange for some limited cold weather usage (they are not going to replace a full-on snow tire). I live in the south, so that trade-off would not be worth it on my R--I freaking love the wet/dry grip of the PS4s, it is better than the PSS (which was a great tire in its own right).
Pros: really good tires, great grip
Cons: giving up warm performance

Studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9, give them their own rims, 4-5 years of always being able to stop, going is easy, it's stopping that matters.
Pros: always being able to stop
I'm running 235/45/17 on my car and I had to get 5mm spacers up front to clear the coilovers. Car is on stock 04 GLI wheels now.
Pros: clear the coilovers
Cons: needed 5mm spacers

I found GT Radial Champiro SX2 was pretty decent for around the same price as Kendas with similar performance and similar but not as much longevity.
Pros: similar performance, decent price
Cons: less longevity
I personally love the DWS and used them as my "winter tire" in the PNW. I did find them to lack the sidewall support for giving me confidence in the dry, however if you aren't pushing the car hard, they are a fantastic all year tire
Pros: fantastic all year tire
Cons: lack sidewall support

Love my Ridge Grapplers and they have about 60k miles on them.
Pros: love them
Mileage: 96560 km
On my 2015 Passat I put a Chinese brand as I go many miles the design of the tires is really good looking, no road noise and good grip so far 15k miles and no issues and half the price.
Pros: good grip, no issues
Cons: Chinese brand
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 15000 km
I'm currently running Michelin Premieres on my Jetta. They are great tires, especially in the wet, but don't get near the longevity that they claim. I've put TrueContacts on our old Forester, and was very happy with them. I've also had General Altimax HP's on the Jetta (same category tire), and was happy with those as well. Generals are a great budget tire. They were very quiet, and I'll echo the comment that they feel squirmy at first until all the casing oil gets out of them.
Pros: great in wet, quiet
Cons: poor longevity, squirmy at first

Volkswagen Jetta
With 4000 miles on the car, I thought I would 'Upgrade' with a decent reviewed set to replace the stock continentals... After a 3-hour install I became somewhat horrified as to what I had done...even with the proper size, the car visually and actually sits lower, the fluid steering has stiffened exponentially (even normal mode), and the car feels so much heavier. The Tiguan now struggles (and burns gas /loses economy) to accelerate in regular conditions and the braking feels laggard. It is a night and day difference that makes the OEM Continental ProContacts actually seem like a good tire. Do not purchase these tires unless you want to turn your Tiguan into a constipated low-slung Jeep.
Cons: car sits lower, steering stiffened
