How are those DWS in the snow? I'm thinking about swapping those on after this summer. I got a summer left in these Dunlops

well, i felt pretty confident in these during that last big snow storm. my main problem was clearing large chunks of ice people throw into the streets when digging out their cars.

not going to be unrealistic and say they're as good as snow tires, but i think you'll be very happy with them if you need an all season. the reviews about their wet traction are all pretty spot on. almost feels as if you're driving on a dry road.

people say the sidewalls are soft, and i can't really comment on that because i've never tried a top of the line summer performance tire.

Get yourself onto some high end summers and you'll see what they can do on the twisties. Tire noise and ride quality become an issue on the high end summers though.

My friend runs DWS on his tuned C63 and he doesn't seem to have major traction issues from say a 40 roll. I've also seen him cut 1.9 - 2.0 60fts on those tires too!
