I run 31 or 32 in my continentals all four corners

I've had the BFGs on order for a couple of weeks. 285 front, 305 rear. When I placed the order the 285's were in stock and the 305's scheduled for end of Sept. Yesterday I found out BFG has put the 305s on hold with no delivery date :(

Yep...
DWS in 275/315 work good enough for mild winters in flat Central NJ.
Should work for you similarly well 30 miles East in NYC.
Unless you plan on driving it somewhere more snowy.
Then you will need real snow tires.

Why did you go with the 275 front instead of the 285?

285/35/20 are not available in the DWS.

They do have 285/35/20, but those do not have a sufficient service rating.

I have 285/30/20 up front and 315/35/20 in rear dws.
The fronts are great and what was recommended for my application from the manufacture and the tire shop who put them on.
275 in the front and 315 in the rear has to much variance plus the profile on the 275 is a 40 not 35 like you think, check that again.. (way to much sidewalI, not suited for this car, maybe a caddy)...
Not dissing your set up man but you should of definitely went with the 285 up front .
not to mention the handling improved significantly.

TobysZL1, thanks, that's what I was thinking but wasn't sure. Ordering a set today.

[2014CamaroZL1]

The DWS is just for winter, so a 10 mm front downsize is acceptable.
I have 295 / 315 MPSS for the other 3 seasons.
Surely you are not running the DWS all year ??

The stock GY fronts have a 100Y rating.
It is my understanding that you cannot drop below the stock tire ratings.
TDD refused to sell me an almost full-sized spare tire because the load rating was slightly less.

You'll love them! My handling in my vert has increased tremendously. Enough to notice. One of the best parts of these tires are how quiet they are versus the GY's ..,that and they hook even better.

I run mine all year. Why wouldn't I? They do everything better then the stockers , look great and I guarantee they do everything your over priced pilots do just as good if not better.

That and continental dws is not a winter tire.. it's an ultra performance all season tire.
