[QUOTE="mike69440, post: 15213748, member: 3142"] [b]DWS06 vs DW06[/b] It is my understanding from the wharehouse manager and also the sales person that the DWS06 is available currently but not in all sizes and they are closing out the old inventories. I was told Continental Tire is not also not cuurently manufacturing the DW as they will be tweaking the DW similar to the DWS06 and restarting manufacturing. In any case I got a considerable mark down on the DW tires, matching the best internet price form a local brick and mortar tire store. I read up on these tiresw, supposedly have a decent ride, noise, and tread life. Not quite a Pilot Sport Cup PS2, lacking a bit in steering response, close in ultimate grip. In 75 k miles I've used up 1.) Original Ford OEM equipped Goddyear F1 ( So So Tire, wore really quick, & I was at only 450 HP then.) 2.) BFG KDW's ( Not a terrible tire, Not all that grippy, new stuff supposedly better, way to long a tread life as they were real 'Meh' tires. 3.) Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, great tire in warm weather dry or rain, in warm weather. (Below 60 F, scary horrible.) As they get old and worn, they got like the KDW's 4.) Dunlops, forget which model, but size was 255/40-17. Ok tires, but way too little on rears, wore out quick. 5.) The Eagle F1 GS-D3, again, sucker for punishment, but I got them at a great price, currenly on car, I'll burn them up quick, now they are past their prime. 6. ) ExtremeContact™ DW. Note I got big diameter 27" O.D in rear, effectively making for 3.38/1 gears to kill torque a bit. I just want them to hold rolling on throttle in 2nd gear on good asphalt on a hot sticky day. I still have original clutch in car as I quit going to the track as I can't hook up and don't want tires that will shock the drivetrain. My car needs a good detailing and those brake rotors got rusty waiting for spring! [/QUOTE]
