Default Check out my new rubber

Got the Continental DWS installed today, have to say they are 100% better than stock on dry pavement. We'll see how they are in the rain and snow. At first I thought they put the wrong size on because there is a gap between the tire and the rim. The guy said they are made like that so if you hit a curb you wont damage the rim.

Perhaps we should start a sub-set here at LS4.

I've had them for a while, so good you don't notice them.

How did they do in the snow? I'm hoping to have my hankooks burnt off by then...

Those are great tires. The reviews on them are phenominal. Perhaps not great high performance tires, but a great compromise to performance and all-season IMO.
