They've held up well. Slightly stiffer sidewalls compared to the Conti DW. Treadwear is on par to them as well. I'll most likely be buying another set of them this spring. They cut the water on the road just as well as the DW does. But be warned... both of them get a bit scary on a wet highway (in a heavy downpour) below 3/32nds. New... you have nothing to worry about. You can hit decent puddles and the car won't flinch.
Sounds like a good choice then. I probably only put at most 4000 miles a year on the car. Thanks for the review!
Chris just had Discount Tire put on 215/45-17 DWs Friday. First impression quite and a great ride. Next weekend I'll get a feel for the handling.
