I give this advice to novices - if you're not a good driver on all seasons, you're really in trouble when you make a mistake with sticky rubber. They're less forgiving at the limit and you'll be going much faster before they lose grip. There's nothing wrong with a lower threshold of grip. Some would argue it's more fun to have a controlled slide than a car with too much grip.

Anecdotally, I've autoX'd on DWS/06. I was setting the car up for a rally where snow in the mountains is always a possibility. Sure, the car was moving around on the tires but it was absolutely hilarious to drive. Minor tweaks to air pressure and driving style were necessary, but otherwise was no different that the 300tw tire I normally run on the targa. And there wasn't a massive hit to performance - I think I was 2nd out of ten cars in the vintage class that day.
