Any feedback or thoughts would be appreciated.

Yes... the PSS will get a little hockey puck like when temps get below 45 degrees for a prolonged period of time (i.e., roads get cold; not just ambient air temp). Not crazy hard... but can get a little dicey depending on amount of moisture on the road. I went with DWS 06 this winter and for the brief period of time with sub-45 temps and a little bit of snow this winter, they have performed well for DD. When it's been dry and warmer ( I've pushed the DWS 06's kind of hard, it is evident that I would not want to do that too much. Grip isn't too bad, but the sideways flex is noticeable. When the temps get up again, I'll put the PSS back on.
