Okay, just ordered a set of Conti DSW 06's. Bring on the snow so I can test them out on the Mrs. 08 G35x sedan! I'm curious to see what 'all the fuss is about' for these Conti's. I was curious about the Bridgestone Potenza RE970's too, but reports suggest they don't do so well in snow.

Look forward to your feedback, those latest Contis are at the top of the heap in the All Season category and their Summers are right up there too!

BF Goodrich comp 2 have treated me well.

So I purchased the Conti DSW 06's for our G35x sedan, which is stock aside from a set of duckfeet w/ 225 50 18's, a swap from our lowered G37 sedan.

Returning home from the install at our local Discount Tire, I drove in the heaviest rain I'd seen in many many years. But even with new tires the Conti's exuded total confidence, so much so the tire performed as if it thought it was sunny and 90 degrees outside. There were only 2 cars, myself and another, braving the fast lane what for me was a 30 mile drive home.

So far I've driven the Conti's in both black ice and light snow. They've handled as well as anyone would expect in such conditions.

I'm high on this tire thus far, and am considering them as a replacement for the Nitto Invo's on the lowered G37.

This rain here has been crazy... ready for summer already.

I could take turns in the wet at like 95% of dry speeds in my Civic + DWS06s

My G's limits are so high I have never pushed that hard on the street.

I have finally managed to drive DWS 06's in the snow. The tires offer superb handling no question about it.

It's good to see my experiences of the DWS 06's are experienced elsewhere. Great 'all season' tire!

And, it's still raining here. Well, least we've not had any real snow...fingers x'd!

We got a smattering of snow down here. Was good on major roads, but on the small capillaries to my cul de sac the TCS light was going crazy. FWIW we had a similar snow when I had my Z on Nitto NT555s (?), and I couldn't even pull out of my parking spot. I think the real issue was the tire width more than anything.

Had the NT555s on my 20s w/ 285s in back. Got caught in a snowstorm on a road trip back from Vegas, only 90 minutes from home but that 5" of snow turned it into a white knuckle 2.5 hr ordeal. Glad we have Conti A/S on our winter Maxima :)
