Your favorite DD tires

Got a pair of Conti DW put on the rears last Saturday. They replaced Bridgestone RE760 which I still have for fronts. These Contis are quite different. They are quieter, smoother and take bumps better but they seem spongier. Almost feels like I have softer shocks installed. They also are not as stable. A little bit squirelly actually and it feels like they are more to the oversteer side. Don't know if it's the odd tread pattern or the soft side walls causing it.

the DW/DWS have soft sidewalls. that'll definitely make them feel less stable.

Can the people that have the Michelin AS3 chime in and give their reviews? Is it worth the extra money over the DWS or other all season tires? How do they when they are not brand new and have some miles on them?

How do they compare to the grip of a a max performance summer tire?

I'm still on the original potenzas , looking to upgrade to Michelin supersports. Are they any good?

Original as in 9 years old? Yes, there is huge difference

Update: it's now 1000+ miles on my DWS and count me as a happy customer. I was shocked at the casual confidence it built on me and happily parked the car on ice and snow without hestitation.

I was pretty amazed at them this winter. I was driving through 3 inches of snow on the road at times without getting stuck. Even at dead stops with small mounds of snow from snow plows did I still not get stuck. I seriously drove through every snow storm at its peak this winter in northern jersey and never got stuck. I slipped about, had a bit of trouble at times, but as long as dsc was off and I was careful, I was fine. For all seasons you cannot go wrong.

Now it's about time to see how they do in warm and dry conditions. I'm sick of the snow!

I've been running Conti Extreme Contact DWS's on the 4-Motion awd R32 for the last 27,000 miles over 30 months and have been extremely satisfied with them, except that they are now at 4/32's and need to be replaced short of the expected 50k miles on the warranty. Bummer that, but I'll admit to running this car harder than I ought to since while the sport tuned suspension is sublime on dry surfaces, it's in the snow and wet that it really comes to life. In the past I've run with the stock Dunlops, Goodyear F1 Eagle and finally the Conti's and right now I'm ruminating on trying something different.

In looking at replacements the Pilot A/S 3's are at the top of the list, so those of you that have had more than a few months worth of stints on them please provide your latest impression. I'm particularly looking for those that have experience in the snow since it's very possible IN could experience more record snowfalls in the future such as the 57 inches we received this past winter.

Need some advice, fellas. Hit a crazy pothole, one tire is ruined. Need to replace both fronts now.

I don't need all seasons. I'm looking for a summer tire that can also handle some rain in the winter.

What can you guys recommend me in the $120-$180 dollar range per tire at stock sizes? Also, you guys think it's work going with a wider tire, like 235?

I'm looking for the most performance possible from the tires.

I love my Bridgestone potenza s04. Tirerack tested them in their performance summer category and they came second behind pilot sports.

They look like a great tire, and pricing aint bad. What do you think of going up to 235?

I was considering it as well. But only if the front rim is wider.
