There is no better all-season tire
for the price than the Potenza RE970AS Pole Position. Same price as DWS, way cheaper than the Pilot. Look at Luke's sticky if you don't believe me.

Unless you have plans to visit the snow(light) regularly, then you should just get summer tires anyway. They'll out-perform in dry and wet.
If you have significant snow but still want decent dry performance, look for Nokian WR G2s. They're a bit pricey but will out-perform any all-season in winter conditions.
