Conti DWS Extreme Contact vs. Dunlop SP Winter Sport M3 ROF

johno8888 · 10-28-2010, 09:08 PM

Bridgestone RFTs are worn and I need to decide whether I should:

1) buy a set of dedicated snows w/ rims (preferred pkg from Tire Rack ($1200) w/ new RFT's in the spring (hopefully 3d gen RFT will be here by then) or

2) buy a set of the Cont DWS now ($400) and carry a Tischer donut ($300).

I do a good amount of snow driving in upstate NY.

If I go with he snows, any suggestions on RFT tires for spring?

P.S. I really don't have a problem w/ my 2nd Gen RFTs now.

Get the dedicated snow wheel/tire package, since you are in upstate NY and you drive a lot in the snow.

You could also buy a jack and throw a snow tire in the trunk for a spare if you don't want to fork over the dollars for a spare. Thats what I do. That way you can get some really good (non-rft) max performance tires for the summer.
