Continental DWS or Yokohama YK580
I just turned 15K on my 2010 AWD and it's time to replace the original 19" Michelins. I want an all season performance tire that will perform well in the rain but still give me spirited performance. I've narrowed my choices down to the Continental DWS or the Yokohama YK580. I've read some very good reviews on the DWS....but prefer the sidewall look of the new YK580. Any recommendations??

I can only speak to the Conti DWS's. They are smooth riding quiet tires with pretty good grip in the dry and the wet. Have only had them for 4000 miles so I can't speak to tread life. I like them and would get them again. Actually I am thinking about getting a set for the wife's Honda Crosstour.

I've also used the conti DWS on my previous car (06 BMW 325) and they were good tires. pretty decent dry and wet weather grip, smooth ride, and very good tread wear.. I'll probably go back to them when my michelin MXM4 wear out

Anthricite, if you get a lot of snow in Oregon, you can't go wrong with the DWS tires. I've had them for a year and a half and recommend them, from experience.
