The Conti DWS is pretty close in snow performance to the Wintersport 3D. Yes, the DWS is exceptionally good in the snow for an all season. (Also, in my experience, the Wintersport 3D is one of the worst winter tires in the snow that I've driven on. I would actually say that the 3D is more of an all season than a winter tire.) So... I'm very comfortable with the DWS in temperatures quite a bit lower than that.

Hell 43 degrees is a bizarre temperature threshold. That's roughly where aggressive summer tires start getting sketchy.
