Planning to get Continental Extreme Contact DWS, but now I'm worried that no ones mentioned them in this thread D: Any opinions?
I'm in NYC so I've driven the car in some snow before, but always plowed roads (except once... 3" unplowed... that was scary). But again, I never need to drive the car so if its snowing badly I just dont go out. I want all-seasons mainly so I don't need to keep swapping, and theyre better for the lower temps I experience even without snow (right?).

The DWS is one of the better all season tires out there.
Don't run summer tires in the winter, they aren't meant for that. Also, in the area that you are, you will benefit hugely from proper winters.
If you're getting new wheels and tires anyway, buy some cheap, summers with your wheels like V12's, and buy some winter tires for your stock wheels this fall. General Altimax Arctics are amazing tires, and very cost effective.
