Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

I've been using Continental DWS 06 in winter in NJ on my CT4V BW. The sizes did not auto fill on TireRack's website for some reason, but if you individually input the tire size, they were available. I did not check the 5-BW size but I thought I saw others say they were using them.
 
How about the Hankook Ventus V12 (summer) tires, has anyone tried them? They come in the correct size and are about $500 (set) cheaper than the Michelins.

At 9000 miles, my tires are getting a bit too thin, and I'm hoping for something quieter. I'd prefer AS, but it doesn't get that cold around here, so I can make do with summers.

I had them on a car in the past. Compared to MPS, they suck. They are ok if you are looking to save money and don't particularly care to have the best. Or even fourth best, honestly.

Continental ECS02. Similar performance, cheaper price, a bit quieter on the highway although they're still not quiet lol. I run 305 rear and 275 front on my 4BW. The new Pirelli PZ5 came out but it's not available in a lot of sizes yet. That's the new #1 summer tire.

I think you'd like the Continental Extreme Contact 02's way more - they're noticeably cheaper than the Michelin's, not as cheap as Hankooks - but MUCH better. I'd say get the General's or possibly even Nitto over Hankook (someone else said they're probably the 4th best - they may be right)
 
Thanks for the feedback, guys. I don't mind spending a bit extra (I'm worth it) but enjoy saving money when I can.

I'll look into the contis.

So could you run skinnier 19" rear wheels and then pickup some DWS06 tires for it?
I'm not super familiar with how tire sizes work with aftermarket rims. But that's probably what I'd end up doing for winter out here in Nebraska.
