dws has gottin' me through the winter season in Missouri... had a good sized snow storm last week.. 6-8 inches and had zero problems.. glad I didn't get snow tires. I had the advans on with below freezing temps, no snow, and the tires were hard as a rock.. the dws has been great from zero degrees to 40 F

Do the Continental DWS tires work well in the dry weather too for such things are track events?

God no! They are the dullest and most vague tires at the limit that i have ever driven on.

+1 dull and vague... Had mine installed last week. Would never want to push them hard.

Worked well in rain/snow and that was my intention

Looks like I'll be looking for rims and tires for Spring /Summer.

Would not put that tire on a track. Quite far from what it's designed to do.

Im just looked for a decent priced tire for my stock evo9 enkei wheels that have good grip. I just want something that is good compared to the sock advan tires.. but not pay an arm and leg for.

The stock Advans are outstanding high-performance tires. You're not going to find an all-season that matches their performance envelope.

Hankook rs3's and dunlop star specs will perfirm as good or better than the advans and are cheaper, but they are summer tires.

I dont mind them being summer tires because i dont really drive my evo in the winter

A cheap all season tire that performs decent is Sumo Akina ST-09. They are really low in price and perform pretty well on wet or dry surfaces. I haven't tried them in snow as I use winter tires, but I can imagine they would perform as well as any other all season.

Looking for tires that I can drive on all year, that won't suck on dry roads & 1/4 mile events. How would the DWS's do for a weekend driver EVO 8 (Missouri) with a few 1/4 mile drag events per year? No auto X and no road course. If it helps, the only tires that I have had on this EVO are TOYO PROXES 4 (all season) and they seem like a good tire to me. Several 1.7 seconds to 60 feet with an inexperience driver.

I just put a set of DWS's on my 330i ZHP BMW and they are awesome in the snow, but I haven't driven them on dry hot pavement yet.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but for everyone who has the contis what size is everyone getting them in. I was looking into picking up a set and was considering going a larger tire. Just wondering if anyone has done this? I was planning on getting to 245x40x17 for the stock IX bbs. Any advice?

there's really no reason to go wider, it's just a good tire for touring around etc not pushing hard, so i would actually go narrower if i had to choose

If I got a thicker tire though, would the ride be any more forgiving, I just thought that a thicker tire would create a less harsh ride on bumpy roads? Also I wanted the tire to fill in the wheel well a bit better since I'm still on stock suspension.
