the DW sidewalls are stiffer but nowhere near Advans or S04's. i run DWS on my dd in the winter since they feel better than snow tires, but im not a fan of the DWS's steering response (or the lack of) either. i run RE760's on my dd. they are very good tires for normal cars.

it's a very very nice tires for its price.
the DW has ultimate grip, but there is sort of this blank area especially when going through an s-curve where the vehicle weight shifts from left to right... i loose about 0.2-0.3sec of information feeding back to the steering wheel.

that's kinda scary at first, but as long as you know that the grip is there after that fraction of a second, it's not a bad tire. upping the front psi by 2 or more vs the rear has improved getting rid of this blank feeling...but i know my other tires are much more superior as far as feedback goes and overall everything. hahaha

the best part about the DW is its weight. 5lbs lighter than RE050, S04, 2-3lbs lighter than PSS and Advans.
