Lighter does not necessarily mean a better ride. Bridgestone makes some of the lightest tires, but they are known among folks as "stonebridges" for a reason.
DWS06+ is an exceptional performer. Wet and dry handling, braking is probably better than many true summer performance tires. But, subjectively, I think even older Pilot AS3+ is a better tire, and don't get me wrong, of the 9 tire sets in my garage, I always have one Continental set. I just put back Pilot AS3+ on my wife's Tiguan, this is their 5th year, and final one (they are made in 2019 but installed first time in 2020). They are stiffer than DWS06+, although on the Tiguan, they have more sidewall (BMW 225/40R18, Tiguan 255/50 R18). But they are stiff in a good way. They don't crash over bumps, potholes etc., like Bridgestone tends to do. They are stiff enough to provide exceptional turn, provide good feedback (and Tiguan has EPS) and you kind of always know what tire is doing, where it is.
DWS06+ has worse turn-in than Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 I use in winter, and those are 205/50R17. Bridgestone is mushier bcs. it is a true snow tire, but they turn quicker. DWS06+ simply does not have that razor turn that you expect from a UHP tire. They wear out well, their wet performance is exceptional after 3 years (will see whether they will do as well as my PSS did on VW CC, cutting through water like a razor with 3/32 thread left). But if I push tire enough to make them squel in the corner, they just don't provide good feedback on what exactly the vehicle is doing, and E90 has exceptional steering feedback, but DWS06+ simply undermines that.
