Conti DW is a good tire. A bit soft of a sidewall so some vague response. Bridgestone Potenza s04 pole position is better. Better response. Good in wet and good life. Closest to a Michelin Pilot super sport you'll get. Tire Rack rated it a close 2nd if I remember right. I have had both on my M3. I'd get the Bridgestone again, have them now.
Bought new tires - Bridgestone Potenza RE002 205/50R16. Yeah, it is not stance size, but I'm very bored of driving my static low Corrado with low profile tyres, and would like to enjoy the driving R36 engine without slow down before every pit
I use Blizzak DMV2 (suv version of the WS80) on my Santa Fe. Unstoppable in deep snow, but that has mattered maybe twice so far this winter. On ice they have been better than my all seasons, but they have not been incredible.
They have crushed walnut shells embedded in the rubber compound for extra grip and I'm very pleased with them.
I found the Bridgestone tire to be alittle more forgiving and last longer. The grip on these tires are both amazing and hard to tell them apart on snow and ice.
After taking the WS80's out in some snow and firm hardpack, I am very impressed.
I do like the PSS much more than my old Bridgestones. They are so much quieter. I'm sure I'll very much enjoy the next 10-12K miles I get out of them.
I use Blizzak WS80's and a couple 50lb sandbags in the trunk. No issues as long as there isn't a shit ton of snow. I still avoid all steep hills.
I'll repeat the recommendation for the General Arctic Altimax and currently have them on my 2012 Golf. My previous Audi A4 had Blizzaks in the winter, they handled poorly (soft sidewalls) and wore very quickly but stuck well in our wet snow.
they stretch like doody. the lip protector is huge on them
