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).
Michelin Premiere A/S tires work very well in light, heavy and even blizzard snow conditions (as good as any conventional tire does on ice).
I put Michelin Defenders on my car, I needed a fairly durable all season tire for the Michigan roads. Plus the warranty on them is something insane like 80,000 miles. I did notice a small drop in fuel efficiency, but the flip side has been that it's nigh impossible to slide or skid (I've tried, trust me) with them.
I run Michelin Pilot Super Sports. They are FANTASTIC. I love them.
Since michelin cross climate is a bit too expensive for my shit box of a daily i used to run these https://www.sava-tires.com/sava/emea/tires/passenger/all-weather/ didn't have any problems.
Defenders are top of the line. Yokohama is good but usually slightly stiffer/harder tread compounds. Michelins are designed to be safe from the second you put them on till about 2/32 of tread or 4-5 years when the rubber dries out. If you drive a lot and value quality and safety Michelin is king.
Check out the Michelin Wild Enduro tires. Much cheaper than Maxxis, but, in my opinion, as good or even better
Im on my 2nd set of Michelin Premier A/S and I really like them on both my 14 Jetta TDI and my parents 15 Passat TDI. Its a decent budget Michelin that is good for about 50k miles.
I live in MN and switched out OEM ecopias on my '17 Mazda to some michelin cross climate+'s and absolutely love them! Drove thru a blizzard with them and thing handled beautifully on unplowed roads!
Honestly this isn't all that uncommon in Michelins and Michelin won't warrant it, they call it normal.
