Then get rid of the extra wheels?

I may reconsider doing DWS06 all year round. I know you guys may look at me funny but my buddy Jake ran DWS on his 900hp turbo'd Gallardo because it tends to lose traction in the rain easily.
If I intended on tracking or whatnot I'd get a set of Extreme Summers for that but for now I'm just commuting in this car.

AS3+ seem to be better in dry/wet for feeling. DWS are better in the snow though.

Well if it's DW approved then it might as well be in the Constitution.
Consider the DWS06 as good as ordered.

What were the previous tires he was using before the DWS? Was the poor rain performance related to colder temperatures?
Tirerack shows a bit of an advantage with the DW summer tire in the wet. I'm guessing these tests can be more or less compared across.

I believe he was on Toyo R666's. The issue was moderate temps and wet conditions for a reasonable part of the year (sub 50 from Nov-April in chicago). He doesn't drive it much in the winter and has a 2nd vehicle for commuting and such.
Again, I just don't see why I'd want DW which will get stiff and hockey puck like for 3 months out of the year here even if I don't see snow - which I may as the mountains are an hour and a half north and I love to snowboard. The DWS offers so many benefits all year round why not just go with that? What am I losing out on in the summer really?
