Best All season performance tire (for enthusiast)?

Well its almost that time again. Normally I buy full out snow tires (dunlop wintersport are my favorite due to the stiff sidewall), but this season I've decided to do a performance all season assuming that I can get a little more fun factor in there. Most of the time the roads here in NY are cleared so fast, its almost pointless buying snow tires.

So, what is the best performance AS tire this year? My purchase criteria is:

-great performance (little to no sidewall flex, good turn-in)
-snow/ice performance


I dont really care about a comfortable ride, wet traction, longevity or cost. I wont buy Blizzak because I've had a bad experience with them and I think they're overrated.

Any info about the Continental DWS tires? I don't plan to be driving through a lot of snow, but more concerned about wet/potentially icy roads. In summer, I mostly drive my turbo ///M, so this is mostly an issue of practicallity since I will drive this car year round, and its not like I'm tracking the car on these tires.

Personally I think the Cooper Zeon Sport All-Season is a great tire for the money.
