I'm going to forward this thread to Continental, I think they'll cut me a commission check :)

If only that's the way it worked :)

Just thought I'd check in and state one thing - the Conti DWS tires are frickin' bad ass. Felt great blasting up the road between Spanish Springs and Highland Ranch the other night. Quiet and smooth on the road. Way more comfortable than the Kumhos that were on it, and the Bridgestone RE070s. Considering I went from a 225/45/17 to a 235/35/18 and can say this should attest to their level of comfort.

Awesome tires.

Hoping the 255/35 drop in price by the time these wear out though, need more rubber but can't justify the double cost.

Funny story, I was at MINI of Reno yesterday waiting, and talked to a fellow MINI owner who was considering buying some all seasons from the dealership for like $1000. I told him about the DWS's and how cheap they were and cost the dealer a sale I think, hahaha. I think the guy took my advice and went to Tirerack...

Now, if only we had some snow to drive in we'd be set.

I wonder if I can make it stop snowing by putting the snows on the Audi today. :)

Putting the snows on the STI is why I think we had the 56 days without precip...

+10million on DWS. I took your guys reccomendations and got some. Been waiting since Nov for snow to try them in snow, but dry has been really great! First snow last week with all the ice and then unfortunately just slush this morning they were great. Can't wait for more snow!
