Continental DWS would be a very good choice.

For Kuwait "winter" I'd fit Michelin Pilot A/S 3 and use them all year round.

Thanks everyone for your feedback , and sorry if I didn't explain well .
Winter in here is 2 to 3 months maximum .
Sometimes it rains a lot and sometimes it may only rain once or twice in these months .
The rest of the year is Summer , Spring and Fall are nonexistent and not noticeable respectively .
So yes I plan to keep my Michelins . But I would like some nice rubber for the Winter .
Keep in mind the roads are dry most of the time but the wether is cold .

Thanks again .

p.s I have never seen snow on my life , but I saw hail and a lot of sandstorms

The stock tires aren't very good in the rain but I wouldn't advise buying winter tires if you have never seen snow.

Drive a little slower if it's below freezing or cold and wet for the 6 weeks you might see this.

if you really must, then you can maybe get a decent set of all-seasons during the winter, but you definitely don't need winter tires.

I agree. The latest high performance all season tires are pretty phenomenal.

I have a set of Michelin Pilot A/S Plus on a SAAB Aero and they are great. A friend of mine runs a set on his Corvette in Canada.

The newest Michelin Pilot A/S 3 is getting rave reviews, outperforms some summer tires.

This. I've driven on the summer tires in under 40 degrees before I had a chance to put on my snows and they were fine. Just don't do any high performance driving. Not even worth switching to all seasons in my opinion.

It's been 29-30 °F every morning for a week and summer tires do fine .yes they'll kick out easier but not as bad as winter tires in the summer.

Does anyone here know about Dunlop SP Winter Sport M3 ? I read mostly positive reviews on it .
So does anyone recommend it ?
These are the tires i use, they do wonders in the winter time imo.
