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.

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.

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.
