Ride is nice, much quieter. Rear tires look massively wide.

I have the exact set-up. Glad to hear about the snow traction. Hopefully I never have to try it out. Somehow we missed the dusting you guys got...
I have no complaints with the DWS in cold temps...

How do the DWS perform in summer temps?

2014CamaroZL1 · 01-16-2015, 01:51 PM

Rather well, but way worse than MPSS or other good summer tires.
I love taking off my DWS in the spring.

I guess I should update this thread with the results! I ended up going with the Toyo Proxies 4+ in 275/315. They are all season tires that are supposed to perform well and from what I have seen over the past week or so that is true. I really like the them compared to the goodyears thus far. They ride about the same and have similar amounts of road noise (maybe slightly less). They most certainly grip the road better than the stockers in ~40-50 degree weather. We shall see how they last. So far, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an All-season.

How are the DWS in Summer? For straight line acceleration, is there a difference between these and the Goodyear's that come with the car?

I put some on few weeks ago and with 60-70 degree temps and 630RWHP they are sticking to the ground. Couldn't imagine summer heat.

Ive been driving the DWS for the last 1000 miles. Great winter traction, better than my buick Enclave with Michelins. I do notice some strange cornering roll. The thing I can't figure out is that over 60 mph, the car vibrates a little, getting worse the higher you go. I had them re-balanced, still does it. Almost like the tires bounce, maybe because of the less rigid sidewalls. Anyone else notice this with the Dws's?

Not having that issue at all. At way over 60 MPH she is still smooth..

The MPSS and GY are way better at summer temperatures than the DWS.
Even at 50° the MPSS stick much more than the DWS.
The best part of the DWS is that it is always easy to do burn-outs.

For the daily drive the DWS IMO are the best all around driver if you see cold weather. They do very well for DD in summer and winter. If you track, go summer tires

So anybody try the Continental Extreme DW? Less of a snow/winter tire, but are rated very well.
