I'm just deciding on weather I should replace the oem tires with Continental DW or Continental DWS tires?

My driving style is semi-street agressive 30% of the time and 70% tame. The weather conditions here are like Toronto/Chicago. I typically take my summers off in mid-November and take my winters off in mid-march.

If anyone has any insight or experience with either of these tires I'd be happy to hear your feedback/response.

 

 

if u have both summer and winter tires i would say go with the dw, if u want to run them year around go with the dws

 

the TL guys seem to like the michelin pilot sport a/s (not our stock tires...those are dooky)

 

This was exactly my thought process. I have another set of snows in the garage, but just considered that the dws might make nov and march better, as I would only put the snows on from dec-feb. With the dw's I would put the snows on from nov-april. Handling aside, I am just considering the safety of my family and that dws would be more enjoyable for an extra two months in the winter vs dedicated snows....but they would be a lot less enjoyable in the summer months.

In an ideal world I would put the dw's on in the summer, dws on for nov and feb, and buick style snows on for dec-feb.

I guess it's all a trade off and it would depend on where one's priorities are.

 

I have had the DWS tires for almost a year now...I absolutely love them!!! best tires I have ever owned!!

 

Seth,

Can you tell me about your driving style and the driving conditions of where you live.

Thanks.

 

You need some Nitto Extreme Drag Radials like mine.

Never tried Continental tires before, but tread pattern is important to me. Looks secksy from the rear when it's nice and meaty.
