I think I'm going with these tires. It's a brand new tire. UTQG is 500. I like the new technology stuff. If I get a year out of them, I'll be happy. The other tire of choice would have been the DWS's.

What Michelin's? The MXM4's? I dunno. I'm so conflicted on tires
It's not getting very good reviews at TR.

You made a thread a week or so ago about some Michelin tires that used some new technology and were supposed to be awesome all seasons.
If your looking to spend $670 on tires I would want to get more than a year out of them.

Interesting. I have had the v12s before. I liked them for the price. I will probably buy new tires for the corvette in the next year. I planning to go with summer tires but I want to hear your impressions.

But DW drives about 100 miles round trip per day, so 5 days per week times 50 weeks (2 weeks for vacation) yields 25K miles. Add in at least a 100 miles per week for shuttling kids to practices/games & running errands, that's another 5K miles per year. Getting 30K miles out of tires for our cars is a challenge.

I ended up going with the DWS's. I could not talk myself out of them. After looking at price, customer reviews, weight (significant), tread width and UTQG....on paper (and from talking to people) they just stack up as a superior tire. Done....
LEFT = DWS's, MIDDLE = Khumo 4X, RIGHT = Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus ZP

Great info! I didn't know they listed tire weights. Yikes, my runflats are heavy. 3-5 lbs more each than the comparable Super Sports or Ventus V12s. 6 lbs more than the Extremecontact DW. Wow
