PS$S vs DWS 06+

Hi folks... I know this might be an odd comparison, and I apologize for the long wind-up. I had another thread comparing some of the A/S options for my 2018 M550 with staggered 19" wheels. Right now, my worn Primacy 3 tires are off the car for the winter, in favor of 18" Pilot Alpin 4 tires.

Previously I was leaning to using the Alpins in the winter and DWS tires the rest of the year - basically to get the winter tires off the car as early as possible and put them on as late as possible. I didn't want to get caught in surprise snow with a summer tire but I usually try to leave the winters on for as short a time as I can (I am in W. NY so that is still months).

I'm really liking these Alpin tires. No snow yet, temps in the 30's, think I could live with keeping them on thru shoulder season - so a summer tire is now an option again.

Any thoughts on going with DWS anyway, vs switching to the PS4S when my Primacy 3's wear out? I have read many rave reviews about both tires - - - how much more does this summer tire get me over this all-season? I really appreciate any thoughts. Thank you!
