Are the tires you are comparing the same width?

Warm climate, that makes sense. Not that cold and when it is cold it's probably not for very long.
Tires are the same size and width. There's no comparison between the OEM Goodyears and my Conti DS06+ A/S in the cold. Once the Goodyears had some temp in them, obviously, they were excellent.
Question: Why not just stick with the OEM Goodyears when it comes time to replace? They are less expensive than the Michelins, and better performance tires, and provide better steering feedback. They don't last as long, but that is somewhat offset by the lower cost.
