high performance tires in general have bolder sholders and that usually ends up with a meaty wide tread. while the DW's have kind of a rounded shoulder it appears wider than say RE050A's.

the RE050A's aren't bad, they're just not that great. they wear too quick, prone to more noise, heavy, and grip is not as good as the RE050A pole positions (discontinued and replaced by S04 Pole Positions). also they dont grip that well in sub 50F temps when pushed.

you might like the S04's. im running the S04's on my G (245/35/19 & 275/35/19). they are excellent dry and expecially great in the wet even in sub-40F temps...but they appear much narrower than the DW's and are about 5-6lbs heavier each.

the DW's seem to be great all around for street use imho... plus i am 99% sure they are made in the USA so you dont get hit with silly exchange rate.
