I bought the DWS because I was told the DWs got hard in cold weather and that could be dangerous..is that true?

I was looking at your photos..obviously you have an interest in photography...some of the shots some people post are a hoot!
I havent done much shooting in a while,..,.mostly grandkids...but I can tell you are a lot better than the average

Talking about the money they spend on cars..my grandson is the same way with video systems..he is only 17 but every penny he makes goes to video gaming..
My son got a credit card at 16 and ran up $20,000 + but remarkably paid it off.,.he now owns his own house and is manager at Staples..things do work out..in most cases..

Geeze man you are a regular "Fountain of Facts!" PS does the term "fountain of facts" remind you of an old TV show in which one contestant was termed "Fountain of Facts?" It was quite a show..until they found it was rigged...remember that

I just got the Continental Extreme Contact DWS .. here are my first impressions..

I drove the car on dry pavement on both highways and secondary roads....I dont notice a great deal of noise reduction..I noticed a lot of noise on wet pavement with the old tires so that test with the new ones remains to be done.

I do notice the ride is a bit softer and the control is a bit looser than the original stocks. But they are more than adequate for reasonable people in real life situations not on the racetrack

I have a feeling these are going to be better on wet pavement than the old stock ones and certainly better in snow. ( i never drive in snow ..to many rocks and sand and salt.. i am sure you have the same problem )

Hope this helps..

Ok got the tires and the long and short of it is that my first impression is that there is no difference in sound levels..I do notice a softer ride which also means a bit less of the tight steering..not sure how much as I just drove 20 miles in the middle of traffic so I really could not do much "spirited" driving...good thing I didnt as I was hit with a laser as I got off the highway..luckily I was not speeding..
I read where the police are most active during times of heavy traffic...

I have been married 42 years and only lately have I had a real passion for cars... i say since I had my prostate surgery "cars' are the only male pleasure left for me!!

I was just asking out of curiosity...saw something on one of the other threads which made me curious.. Anyway I am about to leave to get the new tires put on...i am really excited like a kid waiting for Christmas! Not to happy about what my wife may say when we get the bill...she is a great wife but like her father she counts every penny!!

Got a question for you..do we have to put 19 inch tires on the back and would 18 inch be better?

Ok well I get them tomorrow..and give me a day or so to drive around and then I will let you know and post a report. Right now the car is pretty good most of the time....and ok on the highway..i just want to make it that extra bit better
