Yummie.. Sport.

86% stiffer sidewall, but only 8% firmer ride..

This is going to be one fantastic tire for the money.

i currently run the dws06 and love how they feel and perform, but i've always thought about going to the DW line. what's the lowest temperatures you can safely run these in? i run my tires all year but in san diego we only get temperatures down to 35 degrees or so occasionally, usually we are 40-80. would that be safe to go with the DW line next time (probably about 3 years away but i like to dream haha)

Yes, you can safely run them in those temps, you just aren't going to get the best performance (obviously). There will also be no damage to the tire, unlike running a semi-comp or comp tire in under 50° temps.
