Just a quick update: they lost their balance after around 100 miles. I'm guessing they were slightly out of round when mounted. After 100 miles or so, rounding out, two of four tires needed to be...

After getting used to the softer sidewalls of the DWS's I'm very happy with them. Overall an excellent tire, and one of the best all-seasons in the snow.

I've also shown a fairly significant...

I'd take off the grounding kit. I've never seen any solid evidence they do any good. I had one on a car a couple of years ago and it was all placebo.

I recommend the Continental DWS for an all-season. Based on the reviews, they seem to be about as capable in the snow as you can get for an all-season. For the other 3 seasons, they seem to be...

I had 225/50's on my FX35 18x8's as my winter tire combo. They didn't look too bad, actually. I don't have any real good pictures, though. They aren't 'aftermarket' wheels though but I don't think...

I took them through a few windy roads at reasonable speeds and the sidewall flex is definitely noticeable at 35psi. I'm going to up them to 40 and see how they feel.

Continental DWS tires for Sport Wheels Compared to Stock

I cannot give a good review of the tires just yet since I've only put about 15 miles on them. I will do so at a later date. Initial impressions are that they are very quiet, have a very compliant...

It's not too late so I just cancelled.

Do you still have the 245/45's on all 4? I bit the bullet and ordered them. Does the front bulge look any different on that tire than the snow tires you had in that picture?

Does anyone have the same size tire on staggered Sport 18's?

I really want to get Continental's DWS tires but they don't have our factory front size.

My options are:

225/45R18 Front & 255/40R18 Rear

or

245/45R18 on all 4.

Hi Neal, any further update on the ENVigor's test? I'm holding off on ordering these until then. I never really trust the manufacturers claims and it's too new to trust reviewers.
