Not that the DSS06 are winter tires, but it gives you a lot more freedom. 991.1 GTS 4, not for track use. Just an AWD manual 911 you can go anywhere and do anything with (in the PNW climate).

I'm in the PNW too and I agree with your view. I've been running DWS06 for 4 years now and before that on my 997 I had Bridgestone RE980AS year-round for 2 years. Both cars I've driven in the snow and it wasn't as scary as before when I had summer tires on. If you are very careful, you could tackle the mountains, but better to have a dedicated set if you do that frequently. Before switching to all-seasons, I used to run Nokian Hakka R2 in the winters and those were really good on snow. For daily driving, DWS06 is a great compromise - remember, its still a compromise at best
