Learn me: Winter biased all seasons tires (3PMSF & DWS)

I just swapped my winter tires on my celica given the drop in temperature, which got me thinking about what to put on my wife's 1st gen TSX. It currently has the primacy mxm4.  The TSX is our nice car, and I don't even like her driving it in the rain, but with familial obligations it'll see more weather in the future. Wife works from home so the car typically won't be out in snowy conditions.  We live in north-central NJ and might see a handful of days with accumulation and certainly not enough days in the past few years that I was even able to go out and use my winter tires (play in the snow).

I originally was planning on buying the tried and true DWS 06 but learned that there are  3PMSF all-season tires available.  

1.  Continental DWS 06 
2. Nokian WR G4 (3PMSF)
3. Goodyear Assurance Weather ready (3PMSF)
4. Firestone WeatherGrip (3PMSF)

I loved my goodyear assurance tripletreds back when I had my maxima. The car felt unstoppable in the snow. They were good enough that I was/am disappointed in my celica on altimax arctic's snow performance, but I'm not sure if that was because my expectations were higher.  I'm not going for dedicated winter tires on this car unless something should happen to the celica,

I'm wondering if any of you guys and gals have had any experience with these. It sounds like most of these should offer similar or  better dry performance to the primacys that are currently on the car.  Would the 3pmsf tires give a lot up in dry compared to the DWS 06? 

For anything other that dedicated winter and summer tires I have used the Nokian WR.   I had WRs on my full sized van and had my mom get a set for her Mazda 5 they are a great ALL season tire.

In my experience, the WRG3s we have on my girlfriend's 2015 Mazda 3 are only marginally better than any high $ no-season tire. They're certainly louder on dry roads, and they'll wear a bit faster. They still slip quite a bit in the rain and snow, but coming from the OEM Bridgestone Ecopia trash they're a big improvement in actual ice & snow.

We just got a ton dumped on us this week in NE Ohio, and the tires have been up to the task as long as we go slow.

Kind of hard to worry about MPG or climate change when your Chevy Venture is plunging into a ravine, eh?

Based on that I went with the DWS06 ordered yesterday. . I've come to realize this car won't see serious snow anyway, so anything more is probably overkill. With discounts, rebates, and cashback they came in at a hair over 100$ a tire before taxes.
