I'm currently running Conti DWS's, and can't decide if I should pick up a set of winters I found a good deal on locally. I've been fine the past two winters with the conti's, but although they haven't worn past the "S" yet, they also aren't new anymore. And seems like rather cheap insurance... Thoughts?
If you can get extra rims to mount winters on then you can swap them out ever season on your own at home and over the course of a few years those wheels will pay for themselves in just the "would have had to balance/mount" costs every season. While I've heard so many good reviews on the DWS, they can't ever be made to match winter tire performance with tread wear and performance it has in the dry/wet. I think I was just watching a show on TV with two identical cars on the ice rink, one with a "3 season" and one with winters. They got the cars up to 25mph and when they came to a panic stop, the "3 season" tire stopped 18 feet past the winter tire which can result in matter trying to occupy matter. LOL. Yes it is an insurance that you may never know if it paid back. But either pay now or pay later...you decide. :)
Haha... story of my life :)Quote:

Just remember handling is going to suck compared to what you're used to. Braking is going to feel mushy with temperatures just above freezing. Braking is still going to feel slightly mushy when it's below freezing, but you will be able to decelerate quicker than your all seasons could. A good ol' give some/take some lesson!
Can't wait to try my ipikes and sotozerros in the snow this winter.
This is the 10 day forecast for my neck of the woods. Think I can put my summer rubber back on the 17th? You neve know in Utah though. It's such a funny place, last year the ski resorts were open into June.
