You should take a driving course to learn how to recognize your limits and your car's limits and stay below that. You'll also learn how handling changes as tires wear.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the OE furnished tires.
This guy says that the Conti DW performed about the same as the OEM MXM4 in the dry.

I haven't tried the Conti DW nor the DWS. Would those who have please comment ?

I have DWS on a Mazda6 - and it is a great tire. Excellent dry traction, wet and snow. It is a very low road noise tire and great performance. Highly recommended.

As for my TL, I have Goodyear Eagle GT tires and they are a million times better than those OEM Mxm4 tires. Id say the DWS is a slightly better tire than the Eagle GT in most conditions. But, I will say the Eagle GT is top notch when it comes to wet traction, snow, and dry.
